The dna revolution is finally here. I Tests on our genes can now tell us which diseases we risk developing decades before we get any symptoms. And forewarned is forearmed-by changing our lifestyle, taking a medicine or even having pre-emptive surgery, we stand a chance of avoiding our genetic fate.

On offer are tests to tell you your risk of cancer, heart attack, stroke, osteoporosis, allergies, and more.
