Does Ancestry still offer health reports?

No. Ancestry discontinued AncestryHealth in January 2021 and supported its reports until July 2021. AncestryDNA results now cover ethnicity and relatives only.

Can I get a health report from AncestryDNA raw data?

Yes. The raw file lists your genotype at every position the chip read, and the report reads it in your browser. Other tools accept the file too, some only after you upload it.

Why might my AncestryDNA file cover fewer conditions?

Chips read different positions, and files downloaded since March 2026 are reported to carry fewer of the commonly studied SNPs. Fewer measured variants means more conditions marked not assessable, because the report only gives a tendency when your file measures at least a third of a condition's known variants. The free file checker shows your numbers before you buy.

What does a 0 in the allele columns mean?

It is a no-call: the chip could not read that position reliably. It is not a deletion. The report skips no-calls rather than counting them as a result.

AncestryDNA raw data

A health report from your AncestryDNA raw data.

Ancestry has offered no health reports since it discontinued AncestryHealth in 2021, but the raw file you can download still holds your genotype at every position the chip read. Open it here for a PDF that matches it against the GWAS Catalog, with the study behind every row. The file never leaves your browser.

Ancestry today

Ancestry has no health report. Your raw file still has the data.

Ancestry announced in January 2021 that it was discontinuing AncestryHealth, and supported the reports until July 2021. AncestryDNA is now a genealogy test: an ethnicity estimate and relative matching, with no health results.

The raw data export is the only way left to see what your sample says about health. Full Human reads it in your browser, matches it against published genome-wide associations and writes a PDF with the risk alleles you carry, the size of each effect and the study behind it.

Step one

Download your AncestryDNA raw data

The download guide for all six providers →

1Sign in, open the DNA tab, choose Your DNA Results Summary, click Settings at the top right and select the test.
2Scroll to Download or Delete and click Download DNA data.
3Tick the acknowledgement, click Continue and confirm with your password or a code sent by email.
4Wait for the email, up to 24 hours, without requesting again: only the latest link works.
5Click Download DNA Data in the email. The link works once and expires after seven days; you get dna-data-(date).zip with AncestryDNA.txt inside.

Genetic Lifehacks reports that AncestryDNA files downloaded since March 2026 cover 44% of the SNPs it tracks, down from 78%; we have not confirmed this on a file of our own. If your file is recent, run it through the free file checker first: it counts the catalog variants your file contains, in your browser, before you pay.

The report

What the report reads in your AncestryDNA file

The generator matches your file against 12'110 lead associations from the GWAS Catalog (June 2026 release), covering 409 catalog traits from 1'020 studies, all at genome-wide significance. For each condition it lists the risk alleles you carry, the size of each effect and the PubMed study behind it, and gives a tendency (higher odds, lower odds or no meaningful difference) only when your file measures at least a third of the condition's known variants. Otherwise the condition is marked not assessable rather than guessed.

The report is informational, not a diagnosis: associations describe groups, a consumer chip reads few rare variants, and the report holds no baseline risk. The methodology page lists every rule.

Privacy

Your file stays in your browser

The report is written by a program compiled to WebAssembly that runs in your browser tab. Your AncestryDNA file is read in memory and the PDF is created on your device; our servers see an account and a payment, never your genotypes. You can check this in thirty seconds in your browser's Network tab.
