# How is this test different from other genetic tests?

Health Insights looks at millions of common variants and how they affect your risk of common conditions.

This is different to many other genetic tests in healthcare, which have mainly focused on rare conditions linked to specific variants or genes.

It’s also different from genetic tests that help you learn about your family history and family origins, or those that allow you to match and connect with relatives.
