Excessive sweating (hyperhidrosis) is sweating beyond what is needed for temperature regulation. It can be primary (often inherited) or secondary to other conditions.
Genetic research has identified some variants linked to focal hyperhidrosis, with family history common in primary cases.
This result reflects research-level variation in sweat biology and is not a clinical diagnosis.
Heat, exertion, stress, hormones, weight, medications, and underlying medical conditions all strongly affect actual sweating.

DNA Genics reports genotypes based on the 'positive' strand of the human genome reference sequence (build 37/HG19). Other companies may use the opposite strand, so genotypes may need conversion for comparison.
