There is another company that does DNA testing for both health and genealogical reasons, that is 23andMe of Menlo Park, California. One of the founders of this company has a brother who was born with a genetic medical condition. Her motivation in founding the company was to learn more about all kinds of genetic medical conditions and to give people in general a way to find out what secrets their bodies might hold. I originally test there for health reasons. 23andMe began offering atDNA testing two years ago for genealogical purposes. Having already tested there, I was grandfathered into the atDNA test. 23andMe provides genetic information on a wide range of genetic conditions, as well as atDNA testing for genealogy. Initially, this was done for a flat fee, but recently their pricing structure changed to an annual subscription for people who have upgraded their test. I have not done so, and do not have to pay a subscription fee. But this program is no longer available to new subscribers. Family Tree DNA also does testing for genetically inherited health conditions, but as I understand it their focus is on medical conditions common among people of Jewish heritage. Testing for health reasons is a much more personal decision than genetic testing for genealogical purposes. Marleen Van Horne
