Which I found this genetic test sooner. I paid $600 just to check for the 5 methylation gene mutations like MTHFR. This kit test for those plus so many other things. The only no my family received from this test were much needed and we were able to make life style changes accordingly. Tells you which health issues your at risk for. Mine also said I have a high likelihood of developing Lupus and I do indeed have Lupus. It even tells you blood type so you know the results are correct. Money well spent. The company has great customer service too if you need help or have questions.

While this kit is easy to use and gift able, it is a little difficult to understand the results.

I received this gift for Christmas and to be honest, I was a little hesitant to want to do this. Eventually after weeks of staring at the kit I decided to move forward with doing it as I was curious about my own genetic makeup and ancestry. I thought it was really cool that Tellmegen would be able to tell me if I had any sort of diseases in my genetic make up I should be made aware of as well as my ancestry. I will say, it takes about two weeks for them to receive my sample and another 4 weeks for them to test and analyze my saliva. I impatiently waited every single day hoping to see my results back. The waiting period SUCKED. But I was not disappointed with the results. It was interesting to see what came back for me. All the genetic traits that came back were 100% accurate and it was interesting to see what marker in my DNA led to that conclusion. It also informed me of diseases to be aware of and think it helps to serve as a preventative measure. All in all I am 100% satisfied with Tellmegen and want to test my husband!

So I tried this out of curiosity. And their website is so useless that I can't even register a kit. I started on Chrome, and I get to random points in the registration process before it resets the form and puts me back to the main page. I've tried about 30 times this morning, using Chrome, Firefox, Edge, and Internet Explorer. I've tried from different computers, and even from different NETWORKS (I'm in IT and have remote access to all of our client's servers) so I know definitively it's NOT a problem on my end...What a joke. Returning the kit. If they can't be counted to even get a website that functions, what kind of trust do they think I'll put in their product for actual genetic testing?Edit: Their CEO contacted me, apologized, and offered to send me another kit to show that they could get things right. We tried. I had the exact same result, so now we have a dozen or more PC's I tried with, four different operating systems, each with 3 or 4 browsers tried, in different cities and even different states. Same result. They offered to register the kits for me, and even then it failed, they registered one, the other never came up. Several emails back and forth assuring me both kits were registered, but only one showed up. It turned out he said that the one kit was already deactivated before I even received it to activate. Then they reset my password and I couldn't get into the account. Eventually they created a second account, tied the second kit to that with a different code, and asked me to cross out the code on their label for that one, and write in a new code with a pen...All the while I kept getting requests to change or delete my review. I finally gave up, said thank you, but enough was enough. Even their efforts to help me directly didn't get me any further than their problematic website did...Too bad, they have offerings here that the others don't, such as the ability to have new data added as new things are discovered. But between MY inability to register something and even THEIR problems doing so, and the incessant requests to delete my initial bad review, I'd rather just go spend my money elsewhere... This whole experience has left a bad taste in my mouth...Final edit - Even after telling them I was just going to throw away the kits since I was tired of the hassle, their support emailed me saying that the problem was that one of the kits for a child was registered as an adult. But failed to realize that THEY were the ones who registered it, and that would have had NO impact on registering the other kit, the one they deactivated BEFORE they even sent it to me, and assured me multiple times WAS registered when it wasn't. And soon thereafter, the CEO started insulting me because I told him I had enough and will throw away these kits... DEFINITELY better off using another option than this company.

My mother in-law purchased the child kit for my 1 year old son in January. I received his results on Friday and was amazed! The wait for the results took about 7 weeks due to the increase of kits the company recieved around Christmas time. The CEO along with the rest of the “team” emailed me back right away with answers to all of my questions, and explained in detail why I was having to wait longer. I am very impressed with the costumer service!These results are priceless to have! I will now be able to print the list of mecations my son can and can not metabolize, and give them to his pediatrician. We now know all of the symptoms to watch for incase he develops any kind of disease, and it even showed us future traits he may have the future! How cool!?We have taken the 23&me test, but didn’t test the baby since they can not preform a test on a child at this time. The results were no where near as detailed as the tellmegen, so if you’re bouncing back and forth between which test to purchase I recommend you buy this one!I will definitely be recommending this test to friends and family! I can not believe what all it tests for. It’s truly amazing. Thank you tellmegen for helping me protect and know more about my baby’s health!

Identifies risk factors of various diseases. Any high risk factor can further be checked by the doctors.

This product gave me some valuable insight. The problem is the website is hard to use and doesn’t fell like it is made for Americans and sometimes translation fails.
