23AndMe Genetic Testing

I ordered this a few months ago, got the kit, sent in a vial of saliva, and finally got my results today.

Here's what it tells you:

Learn valuable health & ancestry information.
Reports on 240+ health conditions and traits
Testing for 40+ inherited conditions
Discover your ancestry composition
Updates on your DNA as science advances

I saw some interesting things that I didn't know before, some that I knew, and some that I suspected.

It's $99 a pop, down from $250, and much more before that. Sergey Brin invested in this and his wife is a co-founder.

Just wanted to let you guys know that this exists because it's pretty cool and potentially extremely useful.

I highly recommend this product, it's a good deal now that they have dropped the price to $100, thinking of doing it again now that they are using a new Illumina platform.

 

take it with a grain of salt - a lot of this is still an art rather than a science. If you get the same test from a competitor your results will vary.

Not sure what you are referring to with "a lot of this is still an art rather than a science", could you please elaborate? Are you referring to their genotyping methodology or their interpretation of the data?
