Make sure to read the fine print before purchasing a kit. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and ordered one, thinking the purchase covered access to my health and genetic results. After submitting my sample, I found out that I cannot view crucial health-related reports—including cancer-related genetic information—unless I sign up for an annual subscription and provide a credit card. This was not clearly disclosed at the time of purchase. As someone facing a serious medical diagnosis, it's upsetting to feel pressured into a recurring payment just to access information that could affect my family’s health, such as BRCA1 and BRCA2 risk. Genetic health information should not be behind a paywall, especially for those dealing with cancer and trying to inform family members of potential hereditary risks. I regret this purchase and urge others, especially those with medical concerns, to consider clinical genetic testing through a healthcare provider instead.
