Promising reviews for 23andMe genetic testing kits:
“I had a DNA test that cost $5000 because I had a rare cancer. For $250, I could have gotten the SAME result that they were looking for with this test! Now THAT, I state emphatically, is a good reason to choose this company. So, I paid (out of pocket, mind you) a lot of money to find out something that changed the course of my cancer treatment. The fact that I may not have had to do that floors me. And I had something to compare it to. If my defective BRCA2 gene didn’t show up in these results, I would have come on here and told everyone to not buy one of these kits. But it did, along with some pretty good info about what that means.” ― julesinrose
“I learned so much! I come from a single deceased parent household and have nobody to ask about my medical history. I had no idea I was a carrier for certain serious medical illnesses and could potentially pass those down to my children in the future. I would’ve never had any reason to have been tested without 23 and Me. Now I can plan my future family safely.” ― Sorry About This
“This DNA test from 23andMe gives you a huge amount of raw data. If you’re looking for medical information (not just ancestry), you are getting your money’s worth. However, due to FDA regulations, they aren’t allowed to interpret it for you beyond some very basic (and frankly unhelpful) reports. This is true for all DNA testing companies when it comes to medical information. The good news is that you can upload your 23andMe data to other websites and receive detailed reports. Promethease.com gives you detailed reporting for just $5 - everything from vulnerabilities to diseases, to genes associated with personality traits. Another commenter mentioned the MTHFR mutations, which are associated with many chronic illnesses. Geneticgenie.org will run your 23andMe results specifically related to these genes, and the report is free. And if you can afford it, the best way to interpret your results is to make an appointment with a genetic counselor, who you can find through NSGC.org. So, you’re paying for the data with this test, and it’s just a few extra steps to understand the data.” ― Eileen
“Great service and appears quite accurate. Easy to use and a good App that connects you to your genetic relationships. Health and geographic ancestry information is available through DNA comparisons.” ― WJ Nelson
“I bought this for my mom and we found out she has both genes for macular degeneration (which my great grandmother also had) and a mutated COPY for one of the genes as well. She has three total genes for this, I am getting myself tested now as well. All other aspects for the test were extremely accurate too. We knew we were Lithuanian and that showed up too and we even learned some family tea!! Highly recommend it.” ― Julia Kelley
