So my mother and I recently decided to try this 21 & me kit. So basically what happens here is you sign up (it's around $100.00 now) and they send you a saliva swab in the mail. You register the kit online, follow the instructions CAREFULLY and send back in the saliva swab and they will build your genetic profile for you! I know alot of people are extremely cautious of this whole, giving your genetic profile to people thing, but for someone like me who comes from a wide range of possible genetic disorders and not a lot of information on them. Being a woman, they can only go on my mothers side (which means we have some convincing of my father to do so we can get his information!).
Anyway, so I registered my kit online today and plan on sending it out tomorrow. I'm pretty anxious/excited about this process, so I will be sure to update you as soon as it comes back in! Obviously, I'm not going to disclose my information, but I will be able to share a little more with what all it can tell you and my personal review of the process :)
