Karma in Hinduism and Buddhism refers to actions, thoughts and intentions originating from our own choices as well as their consequences in the world around us. It is deeply connected to religious and spiritual beliefs, which has little in common with genetics and the scientific method. Moreover, they link behavioral traits to DNA, through which the concept of choice being prevalent in Karma becomes questionable through the predestined nature of DNA. But that’s only in their name.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>As it seems, I’m not the only one who did not trust Karmagenes at first sight. They started a \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.indiegogo.com\u002Fprojects\u002Fkarmagenes-when-technology-innovation-and-dna-science-meet#\u002F\">crowdfunding campaign\u003C\u002Fa> on the popular crowdfunding page, Indiegogo. They managed to raise $2555 from 30 backers, basically 10 per cent from the $25,000 they wished for. And although sometimes crowdfunding could go way out of hand with supporting crazy projects – remember when a guy \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.kickstarter.com\u002Fprojects\u002Fzackdangerbrown\u002Fpotato-salad\">crowdfunded his potato salad on kickstarter\u003C\u002Fa>? -, usually it shows the viability of a project.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For me, another telling sign to watch out for was the lack of authentic recommendations on the company’s otherwise nicely designed and informative website. While the list of their partners and also their press coverage is very impressive – Karmagenes was featured among others on \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.ft.com\u002Fcontent\u002Ffe612448-0907-11e5-b643-00144feabdc0\">The Financial Times\u003C\u002Fa> or \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fireport.cnn.com\u002Fdocs\u002FDOC-1139521\">CNN\u003C\u002Fa> -, the stories of users who already tried their service are mostly anonymous. It is quite strange knowing that the strength of a recommendation lies in the authenticity of the users endorsing that particular service.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Furthermore, based on my studies and research, I am convinced that certain traits ranging from multifactorial conditions such as diabetes or high blood pressure to features such as height and personality are hard, if not impossible, to determine with quantifiable genetic parameters. But I decided to see the Karmagenes test and results for myself, and I truly wanted to give a fair chance to the company. Here is my verdict.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"489\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fkarma-and-genes.jpeg\" alt=\"Karmagenes review\" class=\"wp-image-15536\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fkarma-and-genes.jpeg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fkarma-and-genes-370x208.jpeg 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fkarma-and-genes-768x432.jpeg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fkarma-and-genes-512x288.jpeg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fkarma-and-genes-444x250.jpeg 444w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>The Karmagenes test\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>So after I accepted the free test, I received a sampling kit from the company.

That was simple and fast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I mailed the package back to them and received the next step, a survey containing questions related to my personality and psychological background. I’m disappointed to say that but the statements and multiple choice questions could have been also on the pages of Cosmopolitan. On a scale ranging from very accurate to very inaccurate, you have to rate the following sentences, for example: “I worry about things” or “I’m quiet around strangers” or “I take charge”. If you ever filled out such a questionnaire, and you have an overall healthy image about yourself, you will easily get an idea of what kind of personality traits they are measuring and also what kind of responses you could give in order to arrive at a certain result.

Karmagenes claims in their science background PDF that DNA modifications known as Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) have a strong link with hormones and transmitters. Their whole business is based on the idea that a certain genetic variation leads to changes in a protein, which induces hormone level changes, then neurotransmitter modifications, which leads to behavior change. A nice line of domino-effect. When I expressed some of my doubts to the company, Karmagenes CEO Kyriakos Kokkoris told me that they fully acknowledge the complexity of understanding human behavior and their polygenic approach links each trait with at least 2 genes and at least 4 SNPs considering various factors of the importance of each SNP affecting behaviour.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Although, such a complex behavior as risk-taking or openness cannot be translated from single DNA variations. In fact, a lot of DNA variations contribute to a predisposition for a certain trait and then even more environmental factors help create the actual phenotype. It depends on so many factors that nobody could list half of them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"695\" height=\"870\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fdna_snp.png\" alt=\"DNA_SNP_Karmagenes review\" class=\"wp-image-15538\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fdna_snp.png 695w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fdna_snp-409x512.png 409w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fdna_snp-200x250.png 200w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F04\u002Fdna_snp-768x962.png 768w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 695px) 100vw, 695px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>My Karma and my genes – the overall results\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>The notion that a survey with psychological questions and analyzing certain SNPs can tell anything about personality, in my view, is wrong.
