GENEALOGY MEGASITE MYHERITAGE has launched a new expansion to its DNA testing service called

the Health+Ancestry test. This test provides health-related information and generates reports on

the customer’s genetic risk of developing specifi c polygenic conditions (i.e., genetically linked condi-

tions that involve multiple genes) such as heart disease, Type 2 diabetes and female breast cancer. The

Health+Ancestry test also includes the same match and ethnicity reports used in MyHeritage’s baseline

test, which is now called the Ancestry Only test. Learn more about the new test at <blog.myheritage.
