DNA kits that combine ancestry matching with optional health reports.
23andMe sells consumer genetic testing kits for exploring ancestry, DNA relatives, inherited health risks, medication-related genetic traits, and related insights. Its plans range from a basic ancestry test to memberships with expanded health reports, exome sequencing, blood testing, and genetics-informed clinical care.
Why it stands out
- Combines genealogy-style DNA matching with consumer health genetics under one account
- Ancestry reporting is unusually granular, including 4,500+ listed regions
- Premium adds ongoing report updates as new supported genetic insights become available
- Higher-tier Total Health pairs DNA analysis with blood testing and clinician-guided care
- Includes pharmacogenetics reports that may support doctor-patient medication discussions
Good to know
- Health-related reports are concentrated in the Premium and Total Health tiers, not the basic ancestry kit
- Premium and Total Health include annual renewals after the initial purchase
- Relative matching depends on other users testing with 23andMe and choosing to participate
- Genetic risk and medication insights should be reviewed with a qualified healthcare professional before acting on them
