A.J.,

You bring up some good points. Patient privacy will be a touchy issue going forward. The "uptake" on this testing will be slow, but with proper legal protection for those being tested, then potential revenue could become explosive if the general population can come to deal with the psychological impact of the answer from such a test.

To have such testing done so that you can take preventive measures is a pretty persuasive arguement; especially when someone is young and can alter their lifestyle accordingly (diet, medication, exercise, etc.)

Here's an interesting and relevant article.
