> My spouse is currently in the process of getting this done. Know up front that you'll have to fight insurance about it. They won't want to pay for it because they have no existing framework that says doing genomic testing will in any way help whatever you have. (And they're not wrong. It's entirely possible the genome sequencing won't turn up anything useful.)
The whole genome sequencing linked above is $200, plus more if you want specific reports run against it (rather than doing it with 3rd party tools).
$200 can still be a lot of money depending on the circumstances, but for most of us with tech jobs I'd gladly pay the $200 out of pocket and get it going right away while waiting for the glacial process of getting insurance and appointments coordinated.
