Advances in DNA testing have made it possible for virtually anyone to collect a genetic sample within the comfort of their own home and send it back to test for just about anything.  Sound like science fiction?  Think again.  From paternity to genetic diseases to personal nutrition, taking DNA tests and receiving results are now as simple as ordering takeout.  Seriously.

Paternity
Consumer Genetics is a company that offers at-home paternity DNA testing - it simply requires a cheek swab from the baby and the possible father.  Don’t want him to know you’re testing him?  No problem!  The company also offers “discreet” testing, so the father can be tested without his knowledge; simply send in gum chewed by him, a shirt he sweat in, or a hair from his hairbrush.

Nutritional Needs
Ever wondered if a multi-vitamin is right for everyone?  If everyone’s make-up is unique, how can it be?  And how do you know precisely which nutrients you lack and need more of?  Code Nutrition is a nutrigenetics company that provides at-home DNA nutrition tests and customized vitamins based on your one-of-a-kind genetic code.

Baby Gender
Consumer Genetics also offers the “Pink or Blue” test which reveals a baby’s gender as early as the seventh week of pregnancy.  The test is said to be 95% accurate and costs only $25 for the test kit and $249 for the DNA test.

Genetic Diseases
You many think your chances of actually getting it are slim, but what if breast cancer runs in your family…and you are genetically predisposed to it?  DNA Direct offers consumer at-home testing to detect the genetic mutations associated with a range of serious conditions including breast cancer, cystic fibrosis, diabetes.  This kind of testing empowers consumers to determine if they are at risk for certain genetic diseases in private so their ability (or inability) to acquire adequate health insurance is unaffected.

Mental Illness
Forget detecting physical conditions…what about mental illness?  Psynomics offers at-home diagnostic testing for mental illness, such as bipolar disease.  Furthermore, they offer a test for a gene that predicts how well a patient will respond to serotonin-based drugs (which are the most commonly prescribed drugs in psychiatry).  The test is said to be beneficial in assisting doctors in making an accurate mental illness diagnosis and prescribing the right medication for each patient.

Family Ancestry
Gene Tree is a company that essentially provides DNA genealogy.  At-home DNA testing is used to map out an individual’s family tree and track their ancestry.
