When you take an at-home DNA test, you have to be prepared to potentially find out some nasty family secrets. It might not happen often, but one study estimates that about 3% of direct-to-consumer DNA test users find out about misattributed parentage.

What followed was his mother’s tears, a physical fight between two brothers, and his grandmother having a heart attack.
