Module reference

Yeliztli runs many analysis modules over your data. Each one loads a curated panel of variants, extracts the ones you carry, and stores findings with an evidence rating. For how to read each kind of output — evidence stars, categorical levels, diplotypes, polygenic percentiles, and the recurring caveats — see the interpretation reference.

Modules come in three kinds:

  • Modules with their own page in the app — you can open them from the dashboard and see a tailored view.
  • Findings-only modules — they don't have a dedicated page, but their results appear in the unified Findings Explorer (these are documented together under Specialized findings).
  • Disclosure-gated modules — sensitive results that stay hidden until you opt in.

How to read any module

Every module analyses consumer genotyping-array data and is research/educational only — not diagnostic. Many report categorical levels or polygenic percentiles rather than yes/no answers, and some withhold a number when the data can't support it. See Intended use & disclaimers.

Health & hereditary risk

Module What it analyses
Hereditary cancer 28-gene hereditary-cancer panel + cancer polygenic scores
Cardiovascular 16-gene panel: familial hypercholesterolemia, cardiomyopathy, channelopathy
Carrier status Reproductive carrier screening across 7 recessive-disease genes
Gene health Categorical risk across ~17 conditions in 4 body systems
Familial hypercholesterolemia FH-focused view: LDLR/APOB/PCSK9 + LDL-C polygenic score
Metabolic Polygenic scores for type-2 diabetes and BMI/obesity
Bone density (eBMD) Heel bone-density polygenic score (fracture-risk context)
Rare variants Customisable finder for rare and ultra-rare carried variants

Pharmacogenomics

Module What it analyses
Pharmacogenomics Star-allele calling + CPIC prescribing context for 11 drug-metabolism genes
HLA (imputed) Operator-provisioned imputed classical-HLA calls for drug hypersensitivity, disease rule-outs, susceptibility context, and raw HLA export

Wellness & traits

Module What it analyses
Nutrigenomics Nutrient-metabolism pathways (folate, vitamin D, B12, omega-3, iron, lactose)
Methylation MTHFR and five methylation-cycle pathways
Fitness Endurance, power, recovery, and training-response pathways
Sleep Caffeine metabolism, chronotype, sleep quality and disorders
Skin Pigmentation/UV, barrier, oxidative-aging, and micronutrient pathways
Allergy & immune Atopic, drug-hypersensitivity, food (celiac), and histamine pathways
Traits & personality Cognitive, Big-Five, and behavioural trait scores (research-use)

Ancestry

Module What it analyses
Ancestry Global ancestry (PCA + admixture) and mtDNA / Y haplogroups

Disclosure-gated (opt-in)

These stay hidden until you explicitly choose to view them.

Module What it analyses
APOE APOE ε2/ε3/ε4 diplotype — cardiovascular, Alzheimer's, and lipid context
Parkinson's (LRRK2) LRRK2 G2019S risk variant, with reduced-penetrance framing
Sex-chromosome aneuploidy Screen for an XXY signature (confirmation-only)

Specialized findings

Ten more condition-specific modules run automatically and surface in the Findings Explorer — haemochromatosis, thrombophilia, alpha-1 antitrypsin, AMD, APOL1 kidney risk, gout, LHON, MT-RNR1, G6PD, and BChE. See Specialized findings.

Quality control

A quality-control pass (call rate, heterozygosity, per-chromosome counts, sex inference) runs on every sample and feeds the QC summary on the dashboard. It is not a finding-producing module you pick — it's always-on background quality reporting.
