Health predisposition reports include both reports that meet FDA requirements for genetic health risks and reports which are based on 23andMe research and have not been reviewed by the FDA. The test uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks and reporting carrier status. It is not intended to diagnose any disease. Your ethnicity may affect the relevance of each report and how your genetic health risk results are interpreted. Each genetic health risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe a person’s overall risk of developing the disease. The test is not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication, how much of a medication you should take, or determine any treatment. Our carrier status reports can be used to determine carrier status, but cannot determine if you have two copies of any genetic variant. These carrier reports are not intended to tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future, the health of your fetus, or your newborn child's risk of developing a particular disease later in life. For certain conditions, we provide a single report that includes information on both carrier status and genetic health risk. Visit 23andMe for important test information. **23andMe PGS Pharmacogenetics reports: The 23andMe test uses qualitative genotyping to detect 3 variants in the CYP2C19 gene, 2 variants in the DPYD gene and 1 variant in the SLCO1B1 gene in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting information about the processing of certain therapeutics to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. It does not describe if a person will or will not respond to a particular therapeutic. Our CYP2C19 Pharmacogenetics report provides certain information about variants associated with metabolism of some therapeutics and provides interpretive drug information regarding the potential effect of citalopram and clopidogrel therapy. Our SLCO1B1 Pharmacogenetics report provides certain information about variants associated with the processing of some therapeutics and provides interpretive drug information regarding the potential effect of simvastatin therapy. Our DPYD Pharmacogenetics report does not describe the association between detected variants and any specific therapeutic. Results for DPYD and certain CYP2C19 results should be confirmed by an independent genetic test prescribed by your own healthcare provider before taking any medical action. Warning: Test information should not be used to start, stop, or change any course of treatment and does not test for all possible variants that may affect metabolism or protein function. The PGS test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional. Making changes to your current regimen can lead to harmful side effects or reduced intended benefits of your medication, therefore consult with your healthcare professional before taking any medical action. Visit 23andMe for important Pharmacogenetics information. Before you can use 23andMe services and see your reports, you must agree to 23andMe's Terms of Service and 23andMe’s Privacy Statement at the time of kit registration.

    • SOLVED AN 83+ YEAR MYSTERY OF MY GRANDFATHER'S IDENTITY
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Review Image by Coastal Girl
Review Image by Coastal Girl
The testing is fairly simple: You receive a test vial (log in and register it on their website) and provide saliva up to the control line. Make sure you don't eat or drink for 30 to 45 minutes before providing your saliva sample. It is best not to brush teeth beforehand since it will wash away valuable DNA and you want to ensure your sample has enough to process. Yes I had a few failed kits in my life and that set us back months of getting results on those kits. Anyway it’s fairly simple to provide the saliva samples. Simple enough I had my 5 1/2 year old done and she was the easiest one to process. Then you place the kit back into included return envelope and wait for about 6 to 8 weeks for it to process. All while keeping tabs of the process online as each step finishes. I have tested both of my parents, my two children, two paternal aunts, my daughter's paternal grandmother as well as myself and two cousins whom I tested to confirm our relationship. If you test at least one parent, you can easily sort matches that are shared with that parent to determine which matches are maternal and paternal. Since both my parents have tested mine literally shows who matches me from each side and my children can sort their matches based on me being tested too. My paternal grandfather died in 1995 and took with him the secret of his past. He had ran away as a young boy and changed his name so we knew him only by the name he had taken. My family always yearned to know more about my grandfather's past but he had endured some sort of trauma or something and for whatever reason chose to never speak of it again. So we grew up only knowing half my father's ancestry - that of his mother. After my grandfather died, I set out on a mission to try to figure out more about his identity. I sent off for birth and school records but hit one dead-end after another trying to prove he was who he said he was. I spent hours going over census data on Ancestry's website, writing to courthouses across the country. The evidence pointed to the conclusion that he was not who he said he was. I had nothing really solid to go by. Until 17 years into chasing cold trails, I discovered ancestry type DNA testing. I figured it wouldn't hurt to order my dad a kit and see where that would take us. If I could just find one close enough match then maybe it would give us a good lead on figuring out my grandfather's real surname. After waiting for what seemed like months (it was actually only about 6 weeks) my dad's DNA was online (on 23andme’s secure site) and accessible along with all his many matches - which were basically cousins at various degrees of distance. It was one cousin (a predicted second cousin) in particular that gave me access to their family tree and actually dove in with me searching for clues that would lead us to my grandfather. Just 6 months into researching my father's DNA, I found my grandfather's family and figured out who he really was. I wanted to ensure that my information was correct and so I contacted the daughters to the man I believed to be my grandfather's brother and offered to test them both. Their test results confirmed they were indeed our 1st cousins. I have since been in contact with close and distant family via this newly discovered paternal side and even obtained a copy of my grandfather's family surname book. His absence was even recorded in the book! I solved an 83+ year mystery and gained a family I longed my entire life to know about. I cannot be more thankful that these tests are available and that it gives us such ability to solve things that seem impossible. Granted this all sounds way easier than it was and in all honesty it took planning and sorting and meticulous record-keeping to rule out my father's maternal matches. I literally mapped my father's DNA and researched every match labeling in an Excel document, which chromosome location that relative fit and what surnames fit within those matches. It’s given me new found respect and interest in knowing about each and every ancestor that left their mark within our DNA. It’s time-consuming, rewarding and addicting. I can say that with all honesty as I now manage 15+ kits on various DNA websites. I tested myself and both parents on 23andme as well as AncestryDNA and Dad was also tested on FTDNA but I met my most useful matches on 23andme. It was on 23andme that I found the best ability to pour over chromosomes - researching every detail I could. Oddly between 23andme and Ancestry their tests show a discrepancy in ethnicity estimates. One shows that my dad has a tiny trace of Native American (23andme) yet AncestryDNA does not show any trace whatsoever of Native American. My son has confirmed Native American and was only tested on 23andme and his percentage came back at nearly exact what is on his BIA blood quantum card. So I lean in feeling more comfortable with 23andme’s ethnicity estimates. IMPORTANT TO NOTE: You can take your raw data (once your DNA is processed) and download it from any of these DNA testing sites and upload them to GEDmatch for free. That site allows you to cross compare matches on there from all the DNA sites. As long as others have their data on their too you can look at those matches and even see where the match is on individual chromosomes, etc. It’s a great tool to utilize along with your DNA testing sites. FINAL THOUGHT: If you are looking to solve a mystery, 23andme is great. If you are looking to just fill in a family tree and you have a paid Ancestry membership or you are willing to pay for it, I would also suggest AncestryDNA. AncestryDNA gives you immediate access to your matches’ trees and you can in turn build on your own tree with the information. But if you are NOT a paid member to Ancestry, their AncestryDNA features are limited. I personally think its poor business practice for Ancestry to force people who already fork over money for the DNA kits to further pay to utilize services that should be totally included within the purchase of the kit. With 23andme, there are no additional hidden usage fees. Whichever one you choose, be prepared to discover a new you. ... show more

    • You had better sit down for this...
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
Excellent, accurate, insightful... I bought the kit because my son is adopted and then I thought, what the hell, I'll do my own because I'd like to know how our DNA compares. I was fascinated by our ethnic compositions and was quite pleased to find that we are both 40% Italian and have similar percentages of other shared heritage. AND because my sister got her results right after me, I also found out that she is in fact my HALF SISTER and that the man who I had known as my father for 44 years is not my father and that my mother had an affair way back when. My siblings are my half-siblings and I may never know who my father is (thanks Mom). Better to know the truth about yourself than to live in darkness. Now begins the journey of finding the missing pieces to my personal puzzle. UPDATE 9/12/19: I paraphrased a bit above. My son is the product of my ex and an anonymous sperm donor (Italian, like me), and I adopted him at birth. My ex was also adopted at birth (sealed adoption 45 years ago) in New York and didn't ever think she would know her birth family. 23andMe has identified my ex's biological family (through my son's DNA), and although she learned that her mother passed away, her extended family has reached out and are happy to have found her. As for my personal discovery about my own biological father, I did learn who the man was (he died 15 years ago) and I learned that I have a half-brother from that man who lives nearby, as well as a half-sister who passed away. I reached out to my half-brother, who didn't want to believe the truth. Things may change when his mother passes away -- who knows? What I really learned though is that this whole experience has been invaluable as far as coming to an understanding of myself, and why I always felt "different" from the three (half) siblings I was raised with. And also, I have learned that no matter how deep you try to bury secrets, they will always come out in the end. WHAT A WILD RIDE!!! ... show more

    • 4.5 Great but could be improved
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
The Pros: Seems to be more accurate for ethnicity than other tests on the market. Chromosome Browser. Triangulation. Relative Sharing. The Cons: No trees. Difficult to navigate. Genealogy is an afterthought. If you are only testing for ethnicity, this is the test you want. All experts find it the most accurate. There is a learning curve to genetic genealogy. 23andMe has the best tools of any company. Unfortunately, they don't seem interested in their genealogy customers. Having a simple place to upload a gedcom would improve the site tremendously, saving time and frustration. If they had an interactive tree for matches, it would be superior to every other company. There are pros and cons to all 3 major testing companies, the newer companies have far more cons and I recommend against spending money with them. The major genealogy company will likely provide more matches than 23andMe because they have many more users, their messaging system is not as good and there is an ongoing cost to use or see trees with them and they have no useful tools included, just matches. The DNA company uses a swab test, so for someone who can't fill a tube it is a good choice. They do have a chromosome browser but overestimate relationships. They have fewer users but they have a place to upload a gedcom and attach DNA matches. There are sites that accept raw downloads from either the Genealogy Company or 23andMe, unfortunately, some cannot accept the current V5 chip making it less useful than previous versions. This test can be used with outside companies for medical information, (free to inexpensive), it does not include the medical. I have been able to get through some genealogy brick walls using 23andMe, so far it has been most useful for the early to mid-1800's brick walls, it would be useful for closer brick walls, I didn't really have any. ... show more

    • 23andme now has an ancestry only premium!!!!! Changed my star rating from 3 to 4 stars
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I got this as a comparison to Ancestry for the ethnicities and of course the matches. I knew I’m northwestern European decent so I wasn’t expecting anything different than that. I just wanted to compare the amounts. So with this you get your ethnicities, regions, your haplogroups, how much Neanderthal dna you might have, and traits plus a very limited number of matches. I bought a test for my dad as well so I can get his haplogroups, cause I’m a female I can’t get my paternal haplogroup and I was interested in my dad maternal haplogroup as well. But it really sucks if you want to do your genealogy. They lock up some interesting stuff with their premium + subscription the problem is it’s wrapped up with their health crap. I’m a closeted hypochondriac this will literally scare the crap out of me. So they lock up a lot of your matches and deep dives and other interesting stuff with that premium+ I’m not paying extra for that. Plus their automated tree is a joke and after the data breach they took down their chromosome painter. So if you are interested in doing genealogy I would recommend going elsewhere. Plus there’s probably better health testing sites. Also this company is likely as of right now most likely going belly up anyways. I will say the ethnicities were accurate and I would pay extra for the ancestral stuff BUT NOT the health stuff. The matches were ok but it’s restricted so I can’t give an opinion about it. Plus I was disappointed that I got no regions for my German French I have 20% I was hoping to get a clue for ancestral locations in Germany but nothing. I give it 3 stars if 23andme smartens up and does better I’ll change my review. Btw The product came in a timely manner and I got my result with in 6 weeks. HUGE UPDATE this company is in bankruptcy. August 2026 update I’m changing my star rating to 4 stars. 23andme has survived their bankruptcy, and they now have an ancestry only premium subscription!!!! So happy about that. What’s preventing 5 stars? The 5000 match limit, and the tree building is problematic. But over all I do recommend them. 4 to 4 1/2 stars!!! ... show more

    • Perfect Christmas Gift for My Mom – She Loved Discovering Her Ancestry!
Size: 1 Count (Pack of 1)
I was really impressed with the 23andMe Ancestry Service. The kit was easy to use—just follow the instructions, spit in the tube, and mail it back. Results took a few weeks, but it was absolutely worth the wait! The ancestry breakdown was incredibly detailed, showing percentages from over 4,000 regions. I learned things about my background that I had no idea about. The interactive maps and timeline made it even more interesting. The DNA Relative Finder is a cool feature—I've already connected with a few distant cousins I never knew existed. The family tree tool also helped fill in some blanks from generations past. The trait reports were fun and surprisingly accurate (even correctly guessed my eye color, taste preferences, and more). Overall, this kit gives you a fascinating look at your heritage and genetics. Highly recommended for anyone curious about their roots or wanting to connect with relatives. ... show more
