Blaine Bettinger from the great The Genetic Genealogist blog shared his experiences with us about the genetic testing service of 23andMe. I shared my thoughts with you about the service of Navigenics a few days ago. Now you can compare the two reviews and please do let us know what you think about these services if you are a customer.

Thank you, Victor! I must write about it this weekend.
As someone who has benefited from genetic testing, I can say I found it very helpful to be able to speak with a genetic counselor about what my results meant and how they might affect my health. If anyone is a nervous Nelly like me, I would recommend talking with a genetic counselor about your results. It was very reassuring. Gave me peace of mind.
Navigenics impressed me because they had certified genetic counselors. I know that won’t be the main consideration for everyone, but it was for me, and I’m glad I went with them.
