If you've had some of your genome sequenced, SNPedia can tell you, along with Promethease, what that might mean for you. I think the main value right now are the drug metabolism results.

Turns out I have a relatively nonfunctional enzyme, and it effects my metabolism of a whole class of drugs. The prevalence for this kind of issue is fairly high.

The caveat that the SNP-drug interaction literature is preliminary seems important to add; many such results fail to be replicated.
