What are the risks of mailing away your DNA?

Consumers’ desire to find out where they come from have handed international genetic testing companies a cash cow.

US-based 23andMe has a database of over 2 million testers and has entered in genetic-data-sharing partnerships with multiple drug companies, according to its website.
