The Ancestry and Traits kit, though less expensive of the two, is typically priced at £79. The discount reduces its price to £63. For more comprehensive results, there’s the Health and Ancestry kit, which is usually priced at £149 but is now just £74 – this means you can pick up the fully loaded option at a cheaper price than the regular price of the ‘lite’.
What sets the two kits apart?
The Ancestry and Traits service offers over 30 trait reports, 50 ancestry reports and a family tree builder. The Health and Ancestry kit offers the same package, but an additional 10 Heath Predisposition reports (such as your genetic likelihood for Type 2 Diabetes, Celiac Disease, Alzheimers and more), 5 Wellness reports (on sleep, lactose intolerance, and weight for instance), and over 40 Carrier Status reports (for Cystic Fibrosis, Sickle Cell, and hearing loss to name a few).
