Without advertising a specific company or recommending one over the other, I'll just say that having the entire human genome done used to cost more than $1,000 but recently the cost was reduced to $399 to encourage more people to have it done so that there is a larger database for comparison and also for learning more about what genes control specific traits, etc. Time magazine did a feature article on the company I went with in the November 10, 2008 issue and called it the Invention of the Year. It was also featured on Oprah's show. So the cost is beginning to come down to a price that many people can afford. It is a one-time cost and they provide an account online where you can check out the results and as they learn new things--they are added to your existing account. So the results are not limited to what is currently known--it continues to expand. Joan In a message dated 1/16/2009 11:18:41 P.M.
