Three important things to know about at-home DNA test kits

This is because a medical DNA test ordered by a doctor can provide more precise information than an at-home test kit.

“Home DNA tests aren’t a good way to learn about your risk for disease,” says Dr. Vats. They only look at a narrow view of DNA markers, so they may miss some important details. The genetic counselling you get through a doctor’s office is an important part of genetic testing. Without it, it’s easy to get confused or end up with a false sense of security or unnecessary anxiety. “For example, it’s possible the results don’t mean anything for your health, but it might mean something for your children’s health,” Dr. Vats explains. A geneticist can help you understand what the DNA test results mean and what you should do about it.
