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

Comprehensive analysis of your whole-genome data to identify findings specific to you and overlooked by labs. Each variant is reviewed in the context of your symptoms and supported by current medical literature. Specifically prepared for physician or specialist review.

Variant Monitoring

Monthly or quarterly updates tracking new literature, database changes, classification changes, treatment developments, and clinical trials relevant to your identified variants. Your genomic data remains static, the science does not.

Segregation Analysis

We compare genetic data across family members to identify variants that track with symptoms. This helps strengthen the evidence for your doctor, specialist, or potential database submission. Public database visibility increases the likelihood that a variant will be reviewed, studied, and incorporated into future classifications.

Genetic Testing Guidance

If you do not yet have sequencing data, we provide structured consultation to help you understand your options. We review your clinical history, clarify your goals, and guide you through the differences between physician-ordered testing and direct-to-consumer sequencing including which pathways provide access to raw genomic data, essential for our other services.

Custom Deep-Dive Research

Focused genomic investigation by biological system or condition. Whether you’re exploring mitochondrial dysfunction, immune dysregulation, neuromuscular symptoms, medication sensitivities, neurodevelopmental concerns, mental health genetics, chromosomal or sex-linked questions, or another specific area, we conduct targeted research aligned with your clinical story.

Clinician Partnership

Structured genomic research support for healthcare professionals and their patients. We provide personalized genomic research reports, case-specific literature synthesis, and targeted analysis aligned with your clinical focus. Physicians, specialists, nurse practitioners, physician assistants, genetic counselors, dietitians, integrative and functional practitioners, mental health providers, reproductive specialists, doulas, and other health and wellness professionals.

PROCESS

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.

ABOUT

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.

GET STARTED

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.
