Make sense of your genetic report

GeneTranslate turns clinical genetic-test PDFs into a clear, plain-language summary, variant-by-variant explanations, and tailored questions for your genetic counselor — without sending your data to the cloud.

For educational purposes only. Not a substitute for a genetic counselor or physician.

From PDF to plain language in three steps

Drop a report, let GeneTranslate extract and explain the variants, then bring the result to your counseling appointment.

1

Upload your PDF

Invitae, GeneDx, and other lab reports are recognized automatically. Or skip the PDF and enter variants by hand.

2

Local LLM does the work

A model running on your machine via Ollama parses, enriches with ClinVar evidence, and writes a plain-language summary.

3

Review with your counselor

Export results as PDF or email. Bring them to your board-certified genetic counselor for the medical conversation.

What you get

Everything you need to walk into your appointment prepared.

Plain-language summary

Each finding explained without jargon, with what it does and does not mean.

Variant-by-variant cards

Gene, HGVS notation, ACMG class, condition, inheritance, and zygosity at a glance.

Counselor questions

Personalized questions tuned to your specific findings to bring to your appointment.

ClinVar evidence

Live lookups against NCBI ClinVar so the explanation is grounded in current evidence.

PDF export

Download a clean printable copy of your results to share with your clinician.

Optional email delivery

Send a copy to yourself. Email addresses are not stored after delivery.

Built for safety

A post-LLM safety layer scans every output for prohibited content and blocks responses that read as diagnostic or treatment advice. High-risk genes such as BRCA1/2 and Lynch syndrome genes trigger an elevated banner that hides quantitative risk estimates and routes you back to a counselor.

How the safety layer works

Your data stays on your machine

The LLM runs locally via Ollama — no prompts leave the host. PDFs are processed in memory and discarded. Results live only in your browser’s session storage. No accounts, no analytics, no cookies.

What GeneTranslate is not

  • It is not a diagnosis or a treatment plan.
  • It does not replace a board-certified genetic counselor or physician.
  • It does not predict outcomes, prescribe screening, or recommend prophylactic interventions.
  • It is an educational aid to help you prepare for your counseling appointment.
