Home DNA Test – What Would You Want to Know From a Home DNA Test?
What can be determined about your future or that of your children from a home DNA test? A lot. I knew from friends who were having babies in their forties that fetal genetic testing had really advanced. A simple non invasive test can determine very accurately the possibility of birth defects, the sex of the baby, and more. But I was shocked to find out that anyone who wants to pay for it can now order an at home DNA testing kit and find out their chance of getting a specific disease based on their personal genotype.
As if this weren’t enough, they will also provide (in percentage format) the chance of your unborn child inheriting this disease even if you don’t have it yet! Are the results conclusive? No. Do they predict with certainty that you will develop a specific disease or disorder later in life? No.
