I live in the Wash. DC area, where can I get dna genetic testing done without insurance?

genetic testing; trying to conceive, dna carrier testing

If you have a specific disease or gene you wish to test for, try this page for a laboratory directory:
http://www.genetests.org/servlet/access?...

or through this page:
http://www.genetests.org/

Most labs will run tests through a doctor, rather than directly. (The exception to this are paternity, genetic genealogy and ancestry tests which can be purchased by the public directly)
