Reading some of the genetic findings on this page :-

viewtopic.php?t=411618&start=16

Made me think has anyone here actually had a full genome test, did it come up with any answers?

The price of this has dropped from tens of thousands of $ a few years ago to a few hundred today, some like this one do special deals and it costs less than a new suit.

This is looking like the future way things are going now

They even have an autism panel (but only after you`ve bought the main test):-

I am curious about it. I know in my case it definitely is genetic, it also seems to be tied to some other genetic traits in the same family line. I don't know at this late stage of life that it would do anything but maybe satisfy a little bit of curiosity or answer some questions I already have found answers to. Still would like to get a look at test results, if only it didn't cost a bundle.

Effects of some genetic mutations can be reduced by taking some supplements. An example taking CQ10 for mutations effecting COQ genes.

I guess it’s possible to research new findings every so often on genes effected but it’s early days
