individual to make informed decisions about heath management," says
Katherine Rauen, M.D. "With
just over 2,000 genetic counselors nationwide and even fewer medical
geneticists, most people don't have access to genetic testing. When you know you have genetic propensity for blood
clots, you can take action to minimize your risk. But with early detection, effective treatment can
stop the progression and even reverse some of the symptoms.

As a direct-to-consumer genetic testing company, DNA Direct offers
consumers an unprecedented array of genetic tests -- including tests
for cancer, infertility, blood clots and chronic lung/liver disease --
