Not really - I did both the genetic and ancestry testing. All I got out of it was that I was a significantly higher percentage of a particular ethnicity that I didn't know about, which was pretty cool.

The genetic side didn't have anything meaningful (but maybe because whatever markers it tests for, I didn't have any risk factors).

I also loaded the data into Prometheus, but all it gives you is academic journal articles that you'd have to sift through and do your own interpretations.

They recently partnered with a genetics company to share data - at that point, I opted out of data sharing since I was unsure how my data was exactly going to be used.

Also watch for discount deals - don't pay full price - you can get 30% off the kits during sales on Amazon.

tl;dr: do ancestry if its on discount, unsure about genetics.
