>So what is the potential cons? That these 'results' have not been verified for accuracy and are largely fictitious? That's why the FDA shut them down for providing such reports/predictions. Nobody has proved these reports are valid or useful in any way whatsoever. http://csmonitor.com/Technology/Tech/2010/0915/How-reliable-is-personal-DNA-testing http://csmonitor.com/Technology/Tech/2010/0915/How-reliable-... >In July, a report from the US Government Accountability Office presented at a congressional hearing on genetic testing roiled the waters. The GAO found that direct-to-consumer (DTC) genetic test results were "misleading and of little or no practical use to consumers." As a test, the GAO sent identical saliva samples to four leading companies. It found that disease predictions varied widely, "indicating that identical DNA can yield contradictory results" from each company. If you'd like to send me $100 I'd be more than willing to provide you with pages of sciencey looking reports as well.
