Other companies also test for traits. Similarly, a number of the tests also can tell a person if he or she has certain genetic variants associated with higher risk of certain diseases.

But doctors and the testing companies warn that having those variants doesn't mean a person will get the disease. Other factors play a role as well, and there's no test that can explain all those factors, said Dr. Neaman Center for Personalized Medicine. Before taking tests, people should also consider the emotional consequences of finding out they might be at higher risk of getting certain diseases, especially illnesses with no cure, such as Alzheimer's or Parkinson's, said Sonia Suter, a law professor at The George Washington University who studies law and genetics.
Another consideration before wrapping up the kits as gifts: The companies plan to share in the proceeds from any new medications or treatments that come out of the partnership. When it does have permission to share data, the data is not personally identifiable and is shared in aggregate, according to the company.
Ancestry also allows data to be used for research only with consumers' permission, said Jennifer Utley, its director of research. Some people also worry that their genetic test results might be used against them or their family members. Earlier this year, police found the Golden State Killer, who had eluded them for decades, by placing his DNA information on a genealogy website.
They used the killer's DNA to find his relatives in the database, and ultimately to identify him.
He is seven and has faith that anything so handsome must surely work. Human help did not arrive in time for that Christmas gift to work. But our son, now a father himself, remembers the love we shared as we helped each other. That faith was undiminished by our frantic efforts to get a barometer to work.
We learned from that what you know from your experiences: Success in giving joy at Christmas usually involves help from others. It is rarely found in solitary effort. Joining with others spreads the joy and makes it more lasting. And perhaps most important, invoking faith in the Savior, the Creator and source of all lasting happiness, invites the pure love of God, which is the greatest of all gifts and the sure source of enduring joy.
That reality was put deeper in our hearts during a Christmas season years after our adventure with the barometer. I decided to design and build a wooden treasure chest for my wife. I needed the generous help of many others who had the tools and the skills I lacked. I worked with them for weeks. I also needed the help of the Holy Ghost to discover ways to convey love and faith in the gospel in that gift. On the lid I carved our family monogram. On the front I placed two panels.
We now use that gift as a family treasure box. The box, now filled with family pictures and sheets of Christmas music, rests near the old piano in our living room. Creating that gift brought a feeling of love for family and the Master. From time to time I still see and thank the people who helped me create that box.
When I see them again, I can feel the joy we shared in creating a gift of love for a family and a token of the love we share for the Savior.
Trumpy Bear: the perfect Christmas gift, no matter your politics. No, really
I see joy in the smiles of my friends, as I did when we worked on the box together. You know from your experiences during Christmas seasons that such shared joy can come from creating and offering even simple gifts of love. Oh boy, who could forget?
