    Easy to collect sample but seems like a lot. Postage is prepaid which is nice but product has to be registered before mailing. Results will be emailed

    I received an email that my sample was not able to be processed. I followed the directions explicitly. Unfortunately the claim is there was not enough sample to examine. This was not an unsubstantial specimen. I’m confused as to how this is possible, given my understanding of the minute sample that is required to obtain a profile.

      Due to biological variability, some people don't have a high enough concentration of DNA in their saliva for our technology to process. If you haven't already done so, make sure to request your replacement or refund from within your 23andMe account.

    I got my results, however, they are useless. You can have the gene and not have the disease, you can get the disease and not have a gene! So why bother? I thought I would learn something, but it turns out all I learned is bunch of useless information and most of it is not correct.

      Thank you for your feedback. 23andMe Genetic Health Risk reports analyze for variants associated with risks for certain health conditions. Our test is meant to be used for informational use only. If you received a "Variant Not Detected" results, this means you are not at increased risk for the condition based on the genetic variant we tested. However, it is important to keep in mind that there is still a possibility of developing the condition. Factors like lifestyle, environment and genetic markers not covered by this test also play a role. Information about your specific result is available in the FAQ section of the report.

    Thought this was going to be a fun gift for my wife, and I was excited to have proof that her family came from Neanderthals. Needless to say she was not interested and returned it.

    I bought this because it was 50% off and because I was inquisitive as heck. Was not too thrilled with the end result .... I know what I knew already....
