Remote research testing allows you to conduct the procedures for genetic testing at home on your computer. The testing kits are then mailed to your home. Research testing is held to a lower scrutiny than medical testing. The one option of remote research testing now has genetic counselling as a mandatory step they offer.

Research testing is often anonymous - meaning your name is not tied to the result and it is not in your medical record. This is not universal so you must confirm this with a prospective study if it is important to you.
