If you take the Mayo Clinic test, you can view information about your genes and how those genes relate to different medical conditions such as Myotonic Dystrophy. The test can even help you see what the risks are that you’ll pass those genetic conditions down to your children. It takes anywhere from four to seven weeks to get your results back from the testing company. Even those that claim it can take six to eight weeks to process your results will often get in touch with you faster.

HomeDNA is the cheapest testing company and offers tests for as little as $99. If you want a full screening though, you’ll need to pay more. The Futura Genetics test is the most expensive at $375, but this test can also determine whether your genes relate to conditions such as Myotonic Dystrophy. Whether you view some of the symptoms of this condition in your body or a loved one, you can use some of these tests to see whether you carry the genes for the disorder.
