Legal Disclaimer
Legal disclaimer included in our Terms & Conditions:
FDA Disclaimer.This report has not been cleared or approved by the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) and the FDA has determined that such clearance or approval is not necessary. Molecular Testing Labs (“Molecular”) is regulated under the Clinical Laboratory Improvement Act of 1988 (CLIA) as qualified to perform high complexity clinical testing which includes this type of testing. If you have any questions about these Products or Services or wish to speak with one of Molecular’s health care providers, please contact MelixGx™ at (555) 555-5555 and we will set an appointment with one of Molecular's providers.
MelixGx™ Products and Services are for informational and educational use. The Products and Services are intended for consumer education only and should not serve as the sole basis on which any therapeutic measures are based. While designed for informational purposes, the Products and Services are not intended to serve as a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment. You should not use this information as self-diagnosis or for treating a health problem or disease. The Products and Services should be used in consultation with a licensed health care professional. Always seek the advice of your physician or qualified health provider with any questions you may have regarding your personal health, a medical condition and appropriate therapeutic measures.
The Products and Services do not constitute the practice of any medical, nursing, or other professional healthcare advice, diagnosis, or treatment. Because of the designated purpose of the Products and Services we provide, you understand and agree that MelixGx™ is not providing any service which targets any one community, user group, business or industry. We hereby advise you to always seek the advice of a physician or other qualified health care provider with any questions regarding personal health or medical conditions. Never disregard, avoid or delay in obtaining medical advice from your doctor or other qualified health care provider because of MelixGx™ Products and Services. If you have or suspect that you have a medical problem or condition, please contact a qualified health care professional immediately.
Any references in the Products and Services to “normal,” “increased,” “decreased,” “high” or “low” are relative to the general population and not to any one specific group or community. The information and guidance is based on your genetic results, self-reported information, scientific literature, and research. Any potentially actionable information should be discussed with your physician or healthcare provider.
MelixGx™ does not endorse, warranty or guarantee the effectiveness of any specific course of action, resources, tests, physician or other health care providers, drugs, biologics, medical devices or other products, procedures, opinions, or other information that may be included or mentioned in connection to our Products and Services. Reliance on any information provided by MelixGx™, MelixGx™ employees, others appearing in connection with our Products and Services at the invitation of MelixGx™, or other visitors to our website is solely at your own risk. Product packaging and materials delivered as part of our Product and Services may contain more and different information that what is shown on our website. We recommend that you do not rely solely on the information presented on the website and always read package labels, warnings, and directions prior to using our Products and Services.
You should not change your health behaviors solely on the basis of information from MelixGx™. MelixGx™ believes that genetics is only one factor of any individual’s state of being, and only a trained physician or other health care provider can assess your current state of health or disease by taking into account many factors, including in some cases your genetics as well as your current symptoms, if any. Make sure to discuss your genetic information with a physician or other health care provider before you act upon the genetic information resulting from MelixGx™’s Products and Services. There may be unknown genes, environmental factors, or lifestyle choices that are more important predictors of your well being. If you have concerns or questions about what you learn through MelixGx™, you should contact your physician or other health care provider.
Genetic research is an ongoing process and is not comprehensive. While Molecular uses up-to-date, standard methods and research to test and interpret your genetics, there is much still unknown about genetics. Scientific research on genetics is rapidly growing and may change the interpretation of your results. In the future, the scientific community may show previous research to be incomplete or inaccurate.
Some Samples may not be able to be processed, and the laboratory testing process may result in errors.Molecular is a CLIA certified and College of American Pathologists (CAP) accredited testing laboratory that has standard and effective procedures in place to protect against testing errors. However, analytical errors may still occur. Resulting problems may include but are not limited to procedures of sample collection by clients, shipping to the laboratory, mislabeling of specimens, analysis of results, or sending reports. Laboratory problems can occur that might lead to inability to obtain results. If signs of a laboratory error are observed, consultations from a health care professional should be obtained and/or evaluated for further testing. Even for processing that meets our high standards, a small, unknown fraction of the data generated during the laboratory testing process may be un-interpretable or incorrect (referred to as “Errors”). As this possibility is known in advance, users are not entitled to refunds where these Errors occur.
Testing for genetic variation/mutation on listed genes is performed using PCR with allele-specific probes. Test results do not rule out the possibility that an individual could be a carrier of other variations not detected by this gene variation panel. Rare mutations surrounding these alleles may also affect our detection of genetic variations. Other non-genetic and genetic factors that are not tested by this assay can affect the management and sensitivity of drugs. Thus, the interpretation is given as a probability. Therefore, this genetic information should be interpreted in conjunction with other clinical findings and familial history of diseases.
Genetic information you disclose with others could be used against your interests. You should be careful about disclosing your genetic information with others. While the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act (GINA) was signed into law in the United States in 2008, its protection against discrimination by employers and health insurance companies for employment and coverage issues has not been clearly established. In addition, GINA does not cover life or disability insurance providers. Some, but not all, states and other jurisdictions have laws that protect individuals with regard to their genetic information. Furthermore, genetic information that you choose to share with your physician or other health care provider may become part of your medical record, and through that medical record become accessible to other health care providers and/or insurance companies in the future. Genetic information that has no or limited meaning today could have greater meaning in the future as new discoveries are made. You may want to consult a lawyer before disclosing your genetic information to others.
Confidentiality. MelixGx™ may, at our sole discretion, share your personally identifiable information with third parties who we have engaged to help us provide the Products and Services. In each case, we will make every effort to ensure that these third parties have agreed not to use or disclose your personal information except to help us provide the Products and Services. Molecular makes every effort to protect your privacy, and complies with all applicable privacy, non-disclosure, or mandatory disclosure laws. Genetic information is unique to every individual, and maintains that unique profile even when separated from obvious identifiers such as a name or social security number. Molecular strives for the highest standards of bioethics and maintains strict policies and procedures to ensure your genetic data is safe and secure. Outside of MelixGx™ providing the Products and Services,MelixGx™ nor its partner Molecular will never sell your personal data.
