@lisalucier thank you for refreshing my memory! When I first found the Genes for Good site I was really looking for an inexpensive way to check my heritage but was impressed by the goal of the research that is being done by the University of Michigan. My mother had always said her grandfather was a full blood Cherokee and my interest was peaked to see if it were true. I joined the Genes for Good and received/returned the spit test kit for the DNA and a few months later found out that my DNA shows 100% European ancestry. I did get the raw data returned but it's pretty useless unless you have a way to view it. I used their Facebook app on their page to view my results and also view the different health group statistics and found them very interesting but non conclusive from a personal health viewpoint.

I in late 2018, Mayo Clinic started advertising GeneGuide and I decided I would participate because it was health oriented. I was a little overwhelmed with the data even though it was presented with a lot of instructions on how to interpret the test results. I just now went back and looked at the results PDF that was returned to me and zonkers...one of the two main increased risks stood out - Age Related Macular Degeneration which seems a little ominous right now since I've been having some trouble with my vision and was thinking it's time for my yearly eye exam. The other one is a slightly increased risk for Coronary Artery Disease which I've always been concerned and why I've been trying to lose more weight, eat healthier and exercise more...not there yet ☺
