OPUS23™ interprets raw genomic data from 23andMe. 23andMe is a service company based in the USA that performs genomic analysis on a saliva sample and reports their findings back in a raw data format.

4.2 Body and Mind Studio International^® is in no way associated with, are agents of or resellers for 23andMe, but if required, we will perform the web based form filling for The Client as part of our OPUS23™ Nutrigenomic Consultancy. Should The Client choose this option (The Client is entitled to do it for themselves) The Client will be agreeing to the 23andMe Terms of Service which can be found by clicking here.

Any questions on this should be addressed by The Client directly to 23andMe.

4.3 Before purchasing an OPUS23™ nutrigenomic consultation, The Client should understand that the information contained within it, and the reports curated from it, contains information based on the best available genomic bioinformatic knowledge available at the time, and does not substitute or constitute a medical genetics consultation.

4.5 Limitations and Warnings - An OPUS23™ Nutrigenomic Consultation is performed by OPUS23™ Certified Nutrigenomic Consultants using OPUS23™ Pro software written by Dr Peter J. D'Adamo ND MIfHI and his staff of Datapunk Bioinformatics, LLC, USA.

The etiology of many diseases is multifactorial, that is, disease can occur as a result of various factors, including both inherited and acquired genetic variants, lifestyle choices and age. The interpretations given by OPUS23™ Pro evaluates inherited genetic variants in The Client's data uploaded to the OPUS23™ Pro server, and interpretations are only as accurate as the data received from The Client's genomic test performed by 23andMe. It is possible that variants in genes and genetic regions not tested in the DNA sequencing test may contribute to an individual's risk for disease. Therefore, a negative result in a gene where no pathogenic variants are detected does not eliminate The Client's individual's disease risk. Further, a positive test result does not guarantee an occurrence of disease since the variants in most genes are not 100% penetrant. Rather, pathogenic variants may predispose a person to a higher or lower risk of disease. The results of The Client's test must be interpreted in the context of The Client's individual's clinical background. Genetic counselling is recommended for The Client and for other at-risk family members.

OPUS23™ Pro strives to provide the most accurate possible data interpretation. As part of this mission, the OPUS23™ Pro software is constantly monitored and the data analysis algorithms refined. When an improvement is identified, the new algorithm becomes available immediately on creation. In that event, an amended report will be available for The Client by re-indexing The Client's dataset, and re-running the report. Such re-analysis of The Client's data may lead to reclassification of The Client's results. OPUS23™ Pro, Datapunk Bioinformatics, LLC, USA and Body and Mind Studio International^®, take no responsibility for any harm arising to The Client from incorrect data being uploaded to their server or incorrect data interpretation, errors, or omissions by the OPUS23™ Pro software or by the curating staff.

A donor compatibility match should be performed before blood transfusion. Our laboratory blood tests are performed by fully qualified laboratory staff under laboratory conditions. Blood samples should not be sent by signed for/recorded delivery or similar methods of postage to the laboratory as this may cause delay in the laboratory staff receiving the sample. Should we have to send out further test kits and paperwork due to this occurring, a charge of £15.00 will unfortunately be charged to UK customers, and £17.00 to EU customers if the blood sample has spoiled and is not fit for testing purposes. We strongly recommend that blood samples are returned by first class post, and are sent on a Monday, Tuesday or Wednesday so that samples are not delivered over a weekend when the laboratory is closed. The Client should ensure that the computing device receiving the blood test results allows access to the e-mail address paul@bodyandmindstudio.co.uk which is the address from which blood test results are sent from.
