How does Mable DNA testing work?
Here’s a simple step-by-step summary of how Mable works:
Step 1: Complete our 2-minute quiz to see if our DNA testing is a good fit for you. It’s typically an effective approach for people who:
- Experience three or more migraines per month or have very severe migraines.
- Are willing to take daily preventative medication to reduce the frequency and severity of migraine attacks.
- Are committed to preventing their migraines by following their Migraine Care plan.
Step 2: Order our DNA kit. By evaluating your DNA, our doctors can accurately tailor treatments with the greatest potential to help you. Your DNA-informed treatment plan can specify the preventative treatments with the best chance to stop your migraines from happening and reduce your level of pain.
Step 3: Use your Mable DNA kit to collect your DNA sample saliva swab in 10 seconds.
Step 4: Place your sample swab in the shipper box included with your DNA kit, and attach the pre-paid, pre-addressed return label. Then simply place the box in your mailbox or drop it at your nearest post office or shipping center.
Step 5: When Mable receives your sample, we carefully map your genetic data to see how you’re likely to respond to a variety of different migraine treatment options. After we select specific treatment options based on your unique migraine history and DNA, our partner migraine care specialists use this information to create a Precision Care Plan individualized to you.
If you are satisfied with your individualized treatment plan, you may then opt to have medications delivered directly to your door. Then through our app, you can stay connected to Mable, for continuous expert care.
Can I get personalized Mable Migraine Care without the DNA test? How is it different?
Yes, based on information you provide in our online assessment, we can certainly offer you a robust Specialized Care plan that includes both preventive and acute migraine treatment, as well as anti-nausea CGRP medications, and supplements.
But there is an important difference between our Precision Care plan (with DNA test) and our Specialized Care plan (without DNA test):
With Precision Care, your simple cheek swab gives us valuable information on which preventative and anti-nausea medication may suit you best. We test your DNA against dozens of treatments and can eliminate options upfront that may not work for you, potentially bringing you faster relief by speeding up your preventative migraine care while reducing side effects. (One note: presently, DNA testing will not help with the choice of acute medications, which is based on currently available research and FDA guidelines.)
We recommend trying the DNA testing approach via Precision Care! However, whether you decide to choose Precision Care or select Specialized Care, Mable is here to support you.
Will Mable sell my data to third parties?
No, Mable will never sell your data to third parties, and we don’t share your genetic data with insurance providers. Unlike other companies in our industry, Mable simply uses your information to individualize your treatment and further improve our ability to provide DNA-informed treatment plans.
We take your privacy seriously. Research in this area is still very new, and Mable’s internal efforts aim to continuously advance the care we provide to you and patients like you. For research purposes, your data is treated anonymously. It is encrypted using industry-standard encryption methods and stored securely on Mable servers. We minimize any risk of your data being exposed by strictly controlling who at Mable may access sensitive customer data. Any data passed to external service providers, outside of your physician, is anonymized to remove any reference to you as an individual.
We may collaborate with accredited external parties, such as universities, hospitals, health systems, government institutions, or private companies. Collaboration only occurs for research purposes in a secure environment. No data is ever sold to third-party providers. To opt out of such research, contact Mable at support@trymable.com.
