DNA testing refers to analyzing parts or the totally of the human genome to get insights into ancestry, carrier status for heritable diseases[1], predicting disease risks and other human traits. Since the 2000s a number of commercial Direct-To-Consumer genetic testing companies have started, offering different products to getting insights [2]. There are a variety of types of genetic tests, including single gene testing (in which only a single gene is analyzed), panel testing (in which tests analyze a set number of different genetic variants) and genomic testing which can be done either to analyze all coding regions of the genome (exome sequencing) or the whole genome (whole genome sequencing) [3].
