DNA Direct is a company providing access to genetic test ordering through the web and phone. They have developed a notion of virtual genetics clinic to facilitate this process.
Genetic tests can tell you if you carry a genetic risk, screen you for disease, or screen you for carrier status. This information will empower an individual enabling him to make better health decisions.
Mosts of the tests can be ordered online and the test kit arrives in mail. Tests are easy to carry out and you need to send the sample back for analysis. Detailed reports on your tests come up on the web site.
Some of the tests they offer:
- Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency
- Blood Clotting Disorders
- Breast & Ovarian Cancer
- Cystic Fibrosis
- Drug Metabolism (CYP2D6 Gene)
- Hemochromatosis
- Infertility
- PreGen-Plus Colon Cancer Screening
- Recurrent Pregnancy Loss
- Tamoxifen
(PBS affiliate aired a segment on Genetics Testing Through The Web)
The process has indeed been made very friendly and should encourage individuals to undergo these tests.
