Q: Is information included about genetically transmitted diseases?
A: No you pay extra for that but will get a discount email once you send test
A: Yes, if your phone let's you access the internet and email.
A: I found two first cousins I didn't know I had and we in turn did some detective work on our own and found that my father's brother had fathered two girls. One while he was in the service and didn't know about and the other he had not seen since she was little. We are all in our 60's now. Happy ending.
A: Correct. It will link you to anyone else related that has done the test.
A: I read through what I had to agree to before I could use their app. I ended up not trusting the privacy or security, so I just record my readings myself.
Q: What times of the year do you have sales and are there discount and coupons.
A: Sales run continuously throughout the year in the various departments that Best Buy displays. There are great discounts and coupons; one of the biggest ones being their exclusive charge cards partnered with CITI Bank. There current promo is 10% back in rewards on first days purchase, or the option for some financing.
Q: Which kit do I purchase if I want to see if I have a 1/2 sibling?
A: The basic kit will provide you with that information assuming you and your half sibling are taking the test and sharing the results. The addional information you get from the higher priced kit includes the information you seek, plus additional information which is personalized to you and would not be helpful in regards to determining relationship to someone else. If you knew a relative had a disease which could be inherited and you want to know if your DNA puts you at higher risk for the same condition then the higher priced kit would be helpful, or if you just wanted to know if you were at higher risk for a certain disease it could help determine that too. However, while this information can prompt you to be watching for symptoms of a particular condition, it doesn't necessarily mean you will ever have it so the health results have to be put in proper perspective because many factors go into determining whether you will develop a particular disease. Therefore, you must not read too much into the health results if you choose the higher priced kit.
A: Ancestry, but i recomend Health also.
