Your DNA may help answer your health questions
Finding answers to you or your loved one’s biggest health concerns can be a complicated web. But a lot of the time, understanding what’s in your genes can make a difference.
Whether that means finally having a diagnosis or zeroing in on the right treatment plan, we want to help you get there.
A powerful tool to improve health
In many cases, knowing your genes can help:
Find a medical diagnosis for unexplained symptoms
Confirm a suspected disease
Discover new or better treatment options (and avoid unnecessary ones)
Identify family members who may also be at risk
More than a dozen major medical societies recommend genetic testing as a way of diagnosing a health condition or finding the right treatment.*
How testing works
Step 1
Request a test online. A doctor will place an order for you.
Step 2
Provide a saliva sample from the comfort of home.
Step 3
Get your results online and share them with your doctor. If you’d like, talk to a genetic counselor at no extra cost.
