My review of AccessDNA Website

The first impression that I get from this sight is that it is eye appealing and fairly easy to navigate, but as I navigate the sight I find myself wishing the letters were darker or there was a different color background to see the letters better, it ended up being a strain on my eyes and reading.

The profile is very easy to set up and they give you a free sample report, you don't have to put in personal information, just answer some questions about your medical history(general) and your families general medical history.

When you review the report you will see a list of DNA and genetic tests that you can opt for and a place that you can find a genetic counselor in your area. You go into any tests knowing that it cost you a small fortune.

A huge downside, when I went to the community section and clicked on a keyword I got several 404 page not found errors, I tried 5 different pages, and every link was the same. So this is a major down to the sight.

There are links that you can educate yourself with, and all you have to do is click the keyword and it will take you to a link that will tell you about that condition. Everything on this page is done alphabetically, and again it was very easy to navigate.

The test search area, again alphabetical is very easy to use, and tells you about tests that can be done and general information about a condition. If there is none available they will tell you that and that they are continually working to update their sight.

Overall a great sight, and very easy to use, and chocked full of information

Outside of the 404 links I wanted a different background color, or different text coloring

You can check this sight out for yourself at
