Being the inquisitive type in Jan 2015 I decided to use one of the mail order saliva dna tests. I am happy to say I am relatively free of debilitating diseases lol. The test cost £125 and the sample shipped to Holland and took about 3 weeks for the initial results to be made available. I'm not quite sure what to make of the results because they predicted my eye colour as probably being blue (although I guess they were blue as a baby but are now green) and categorise me having decreased odds of being bald. A lot of the items won't mean a lot to anybody else much without the full report.
These reports show your results for specific genetic variants that are associated with a higher risk for developing certain health conditions. Environmental and lifestyle factors can also contribute to these conditions.

This section displays status with regard to genetic variations that have been linked to differences in how people respond to drugs. These may be differences in sensitivity or in the likelihood or severity of side effects.

These reports show results for specific genetic variants that can cause certain health conditions. Many of these conditions are recessive, meaning that they only occur when you have two variants for that condition, one inherited from each parent. If you have inherited just one variant, you are said to be a "carrier". Carriers usually do not have the condition, but can pass the variant on to their children.
