Frequently Asked Questions

Geneformation is a research tool designed to help families and clinicians quickly gather and organize publicly available information about specific genes and genetic variants. We turn raw genetic data into structured, easy-to-read reports by reviewing and organizing publicly available information from scientific literature and biomedical databases.

To generate a report, you simply need the name of the gene (e.g., SCN2A) and the specific variant information (e.g., c.5644C>T or p.Arg1882Leu) found on your genetic test results. The more specific the variant information, the more tailored the research summary will be.

Our system reviews publicly available scientific literature and biomedical databases to identify findings relevant to your specific gene and variant. Every piece of information in your report is cited with a link to the original source, so you can verify the information yourself.

General-purpose AI chatbots can generate plausible-sounding text on any topic, but they may hallucinate facts, fabricate citations, or present outdated information without warning. Geneformation is purpose-built for genetic research: our system queries specific biomedical databases and scientific literature, and cites every claim with a link to the original source. Each report includes its generation date so you know when the research was compiled. The result is a structured, verifiable report rather than a conversational guess.

No. Geneformation provides educational research summaries only. We are not a medical provider, and our reports are not a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You should always discuss the information in your report with a qualified healthcare provider or genetic counselor.

You will receive a comprehensive digital report that includes:

• A plain-language summary of the gene's function.
• A curated list of relevant clinicians and researchers.
• Summaries of published research specifically linked to your gene or variant.
• An overview of the current treatment and clinical trial landscape.
• A directory of patient registries and community support groups.
• A full list of citations and sources for further reading.

Yes. Once your report is generated, you can view it in your online report dashboard or download a professionally formatted PDF to take to your medical appointments.

Your report remains accessible through your account as long as the service is available. You can access it at any time to view or download it again.

Our standard report is available for a one-time fee. Please visit our Pricing page for current rates. We also offer institutional access for clinics and patient advocacy groups.

If you realize you've entered incorrect information after generating a report, please contact our support team immediately at [email protected]. We will assist you in correcting the details and regenerating the report.
