Actually I did it once about 10 years ago, and since then they've added a bunch of new diagnostic analyses they will perform, including a couple that are relevant to my family and I've been tempted to do it all again.

(although wait, do they need more saliva, or do they just re-run my existing sample?)

As far as I know they do need a new sample of saliva because they don't store the ones they already analyzed.
