You can get simple tests for as little as ~$100. to a full, blown out personal genome of your own for tens of thousands of dollars - all depends on what you want. What is certain though, is that these tools/tests will increasingly become a part of the preventive medicine arsenal and we need to start preparing for that now. And thanks for the link! MG,

Out of pocket costs are prohibitively expensive (still way over $1000 to replicate a person's entire genome) and diagnosis value is limited with certain exceptions.
