A negative genetic report does not mean your genome has been fully explored. It means the laboratory’s reporting algorithm did not flag a finding within its defined parameters. Most systems are engineered to identify established genetic conditions. They are not designed to conduct exploratory research into variants that may be found only in your genome. For individuals with complex presentations, that difference can be significant.

THE GAP

Your test said negative.

That doesn't mean nothing is there.

Doctor-ordered panels return "negative"

Labs look for known variants. Unique variants or mutations are invisible to labs. Not because they're absent, but because no algorithm is searching.

Generic reports don't speak to your doctor

DTC reports aren't personalized to your symptoms or test results. Doctors dismiss what isn't specific. A research report built around you and your variants changes the conversa

Years pass without answers

The average rare disease diagnosis takes 4 - 7 years. Many patients are dismissed entirely. The data is often already there, it just needs someone to find it.

___

Research built around
your genome. Your story.

WHAT WE OFFER

Every report is built from your raw genomic file, your symptoms, and your family history. We don’t repeat established findings. We do targeted research.

Rare Variant Research Report

• Investigate your genomic data to identify variants that may explain your disease or symptoms

• Focus research on the genes and biological systems most relevant to your clinical presentation

• Evaluate potential disease-related variants using current scientific research and evidence

• Deliver a physician-ready report summarizing findings and next investigative directions

Variant Monitoring

• Ongoing tracking of new research related to your identified genetic variants

• Alerts when database classifications or clinical interpretations change

• Monitoring of emerging treatments, research studies, and relevant clinical trials

• Periodic update summaries as new scientific findings develop

Segregation Analysis

• Compare genetic variants across family members to identify patterns linked to symptoms

• Strengthen evidence supporting potential disease-causing variants

• Generate findings that can assist physicians, specialists, and further investigation

• Prepare data suitable for research collaboration or public database submission when appropriate

Genetic Testing Guidance

• Review your clinical history and goals to determine the most appropriate testing strategy

• Explain the differences between physician-ordered testing and direct-to-consumer sequencing

• Identify testing options that provide access to raw genomic data needed for deeper analysis

• Help you avoid unnecessary testing and choose the most effective path forward

Custom Deep-Dive Research

• Choose the genetic question you want investigated. Your research is built around your individual request.

• Target specific areas like immune disorders, neurological symptoms, mitochondrial disease, carrier risk, or sex-chromosome analysis and many more

• We search your genome for variants connected to that system or condition

• Receive a personalized research report explaining what was found and why it matters

Clinician Partnership

• Genomic research support for clinicians managing complex or unresolved cases

• Targeted variant analysis and literature review tailored to the patient’s presentation

• Structured research reports prepared for clinical discussion and specialist review

• Collaborative support across specialties including neurology, immunology, metabolic, and rare disease cases

___

From intake to interpretation: A structured four step research process

Clinical Intake

You provide information about your symptoms, history, and family patterns. This ensures your research begins with your individual clinical context, not a generic template.

Raw File Analysis

Your raw genomic data is systematically analyzed to identify individual variants relevant to your symptoms and clinical history.

Deep Research

Variants identified during analysis are evaluated within the context of your symptoms and current medical knowledge to assess potential clinical relevance.

Physician-Ready Report

You receive a structured, literature-supported report outlining the identified variants, their potential clinical relevance, and suggested discussion points for your physician or specialist.

PROCESS

___

Built from lived experience and engineered with intention.

My Variant Coach was founded by Myla Fairchild, a healthcare engineer who experienced firsthand the limitations of standard genetic reporting.

After navigating complex, unresolved medical questions for herself and her children, she recognized a gap between raw genomic data and meaningful, individualized research. My Variant Coach was created to fill that gap.

1 in 10 people are affected by a rare disease.

Most are genetic.

Many remain undiagnosed for years.

ABOUT

___

Your genome holds the story.

Let's find it.

Whether you already have test results or you're starting from scratch, we'll meet you where you are. Every case begins with a detailed intake and a conversation about your data.
