23 and Me is a company started by two women with the help of Google start up money.
Their product allows you to purchase a kit for $399 ( price was recently reduced from $1000) and do an in home test which tells you things that you are genetically pre disposed to. Previously, if I wanted to get tested for the breast cancer gene I would have to pay $1800 now I have another option. The results for some things are research based ( not enough clinical studies to be absolutely conclusive) but for me some information to start with might be worth it. Click on the 23 and Me title and it will link you to a post by someone who bought the test.
