Keep in mind this is a discounted price for the Brown DNA
Study. The kit must be ordered through one of the group
administrators, to get the discount.
The test we recommend for most new participants is 25
markers. The discount price for members of the project
is $150.00. Or if cost is an issue for you, the "basic
test" of 12 markers goes for only $101.00.
The 12-marker test is OK for "disproving" relationships
but is often inadequate for giving "proof." So when you
eventually find a match, you'll probably want the
upgrade to 25 -- which will then entail an additional
delay of four to eight weeks.
The 37-marker test costs $191.00. It won't necessarily
be helpful for a new member, at least not until you find
one or more matches with other Brown families. But apart
from the cost, it certainly can do no harm.
The 67-marker test, which costs $271.00, is seldom
useful unless you have at least one or two "matches" who
have also tested for 67 markers. Still, if you have the money to spend and you
have a "scientific" curiosity about the results, then we
wouldn't necessarily discourage you.
