So I just saw this BRCA test - https://www.color.com/product/brca-genetic-test

What are your thoughts???? Can this be real - $99? on Amazon or Color.com website. Looks legit, but not sure. Thanks for your input, love and hugs to all of you as we start 2018!

    Perfectly legit.

    I had their full cancer gene panel run.

    You might compare exactly what their test covers vs a standard panel that the genetics specialists typically order (such as Ambry), to see if it covers the same number of variations that the gene could have. In other words, how complete it is. If you have acess to a cancer genetics counselor or doctor, see what they think. Also consider that there are genes other than BRCA to check depending on your reason for testing.
