At-home DNA tests can be informative and empowering – even fun if you’re into discovering more about genetics or your health! However, what you might not expect when you take the test is that it can result in confusion or even concern if you weren’t ready for the results or are unsure how to interpret them. Want to put yourself in the shoes of someone who took a direct-to-consumer genetic test? Start below with NSGC’s interactive tool.
