If you're so smart, why did it take so long for you to get the test? Sorry, couldn't resist.....

I view the popular tests out there as being somewhat of a useful gimmick. At this point in my life, I'm really not interested in shirt-tale relatives I might have in Whoknowswhereistan.

If I started having serious medical issues, I would definitely consider getting the test done through Invitae Corp. It sheds light on diseases you may have or be susceptible to. It also helps medical providers determine if you're having issues with drug interactions. Not nearly as entertaining as the other tests out there but much more personally valuable, IMO.
