It also includes a pharmacogenetics test, which can provide helpful information about how certain medicines will work with your body and genetic makeup.
Before committing to a DNA test, it’s good to be aware of how your data will be used. It’s possible that your DNA information could be shared with pharmaceutical companies and law enforcement agencies, so be sure to consider your comfort level with that before you do any at-home DNA tests. 23andMe has a privacy page where it outlines how your information is stored and protected.
