In a world where personalised health and ancestry insights are just a swab away, DNA testing has opened the door to understanding who we are – inside and out. Thanks to evolving technology, what was once out of reach is now easily accessible. But once you receive your report, you might get confused and wonder what it all means. To make things simple, we at Kintree have prepared a clear, easy-to-follow guide to help you comprehend your results and make the most of what your genes tell you. 

What Is a DNA Report? 

A DNA test is a roadmap of your genes – it analyses your genetic code. It’s a unique combination of biological instructions inherited from your parents. Every DNA profile is distinctive. The Kintree DNA report gives you a breakdown across three major areas –  

1. Ancestry and Ethnicity 

1. Health and Wellness Insights  

1. Traits and Lifestyle Factors   

Let’s look at each of these in detail.  

Ancestry and Ethnicity  

We compare your DNA to reference populations from around the world, helping you discover where your ancestors came from. You’ll receive a breakdown of your ancestry in percentages across different regions—for example: 65% South Asian, 20% Middle Eastern and 10% European. 

Tip: these are just estimates and they may change slightly over time as more global DNA data becomes available. 

What it Tells You –  

• Your genetic heritage and ancestral migration paths 

• Ethnic composition that might surprise you  

• Possible connections with distant relatives  

Health and Wellness Insights  

Kintree’s report can highlight genetic predispositions to certain health conditions. This doesn’t mean you will develop them—it simply indicates whether your genetic risk is higher or lower than average. 

You Might Learn About –  

• Predispositions to conditions like heart disease, diabetes or vitamin deficiencies 

• How your body processes certain nutrients and medications  

• Inherited traits related to mental or physical health 

Important: These insights are best used for awareness and prevention.  Always consult a healthcare professional before making any medical decisions based on your DNA results. 

Traits and Lifestyle Factors  

This fun and practical part of the report reveals how your DNA affects everyday traits. You will find insights into things like –  

• Lactose Intolerance 

• Hair Texture or Eye Colour 

• Sleep Patterns 

• Exercise or Muscle response  

Understanding these traits can help you tailor your lifestyle, from your diet to a workout plan. 

A Journey of Knowing Yourself  

Your DNA report is not just a set of numbers and percentages; it’s a roadmap to your identity. At Kintree which is an family tree app, we are here to help you uncover the stories written in your genes. Whether you are exploring your roots, making health decisions or simply getting to know yourself better, understanding your DNA is the first step to living a more informed life.
