    This is in the U.S., sorry, should have specified. And yes, the genetic testing is done by a third party company as far as I’m aware. I had to sign a consent form for them to use my data in research projects. (Which i could take away consent at any time).

      And (I found out the hard way), the genetic testing is often not covered by insurance at all

        This is very terrible advice, but if you have raw dna data available (from like Ancestry or whatever) there are programs that will tell you what alleles you have on whatever gene you specify. You need to be able to interpret what you find, and there’s a lot of statistics involved.
