MyHeritage offers two DNA tests:
The MyHeritage DNA test is an autosomal DNA test for genetic genealogy that discovers your relatives by matching you to millions of people who tested their DNA with MyHeritage. This test also provides a percentage-based ethnicity breakdown, based on 79 ethnic regions around the world. You will discover where your ancestors came from and how much of your DNA originates from each region.
The MyHeritage DNA Health test is the most comprehensive DNA test offered by MyHeritage, and it is a superset of the MyHeritage DNA test. It includes detailed, personalized health reports, matching to relatives through shared DNA, and an ethnicity breakdown. The test will report your genetic risk for developing certain conditions like heart disease and breast cancer. You can also find out if you carry certain genetic diseases that may be passed on to your children if both you and your partner are carriers for the same condition. This test covers an extensive range of conditions, but it does not cover every gene and every possible variant associated with genetic risk. Certain conditions may be excluded from your health reports based on your ethnicity, or your personal and family health history. As this test looks at only some of the variants for a condition, having a personal or family health history of the condition may warrant more thorough testing. Your risk of developing genetic conditions is influenced by environmental and lifestyle factors in addition to your DNA. This test determines only your genetic risk and does not reflect your overall risk for developing or passing on a genetic condition.
