I’m still debating to plunge or not, no matter how lured I am. Though regarding privacy its difficult to say how long the public / private data track would last, today its an option but would it always stay like that. The consequences may not be that bad, once its a norm to get your dna sequenced, and so every other person who gets it cannot have a perfect set of genes. But humanity has found ways to discriminate without putting much logic, so an ideal situation would be to educate people who might someday make decisions based on the data. Interpretation of information is the key..
Somewhere in the near future we have a Gattaca replay..

Each “T” a person has on this genotype is associated with lower brain volume (and possibly lower IQ). My genotype is rs7294919(T;T), but I am also a member of Mensa.

Study blurb found here. It also mentions rs10784502 and rs10494373 being linked to brain volume, but I haven’t found the alleles associated with what yet and I’m not ready to pay for the article to find out.
