Ask HN: Where can I genetically test myself without risking privacy?

I've been meaning to screen myself for genetic diseases and do not trust services like 23andMe. What options do I have?

It's a bad idea for a bunch of reasons but you could always do it yourself: https://nanoporetech.com/products/sequence/minion

We're building this at Monadic DNA.

I recently posted about our first stab at this at https://vishakh.blog/2025/07/08/using-mpc-for-anonymous-and-....

We'll have a waitlist up pretty soon for people to sign up for a batch of private sequencing.

MyHeritage has a long and detailed privacy policy. Seems like that they are aiming to meet EU standards. Don't have personal experience though, and they might not provide everything what you are looking for.

		That's the best advice. I have seen some genetic test results. They are not simple to interpret and it is not easy to know what to test for- every person has natural defects and mutations which not always translates to real diseases.
