Topic: 23andme health analysis and genetic genie questions

For those of you who got the health analysis from 23andme prior to the shut down, did you find it helpful?

Was Genetic Genie like it?

I wanted to get the 23andme info specifically to analyze my health (especially related to Lyme and methylation).

Just wondering it's worth going through with it since they are now offering me a refund.

Thanks.

I would like to know what others think about this too.

If the raw material is too complicated without their interpretation, and Genetic Genie doesn't give as much info, is it still worth getting the raw data and worrying about interpreting later?

Absolutely worth it! I ran my raw data through:
-genetic genie, MTHFRsupport.com, and Promethease through SNPedia. Those reports were priceless.

I would get the info while you still can. The results matched up with the lab tests I previously had for MTHFR and alpha-1 anti trypsin, as well as detox profiles and much, much more info.

With 23andme being shut down, is there another place that does similar testing?

Just curious - I had the test done, but didn't yet download the raw data to genetic genie for interpretation.

Now the download site at 23andme isn't letting me type in my password, so I can't download any data. I've sent a query to the site about this.

Has anyone else experienced this happening with your data, that you're unable to download it?

I had some trouble downloading my data. I spoke with someone in customer service about this and was walked through it.

But this was last summer. I know they are having lots of trouble these days. I hope you have some luck with your query to the site.

This whole situation just reeks of corruption.

Very upsetting. I only had the test done on myself and my son. I was going to run it on my husband and daughter in the future,as my budget allows. Now, I can't.

Ugh. I just watch the promethease demo. It looks overwhelming. My brain was having trouble interpreting their interpretation!

Genetic Genie (which is a small set of results), seems to have at least an analysis that makes sense to me.

This sucks. Boooooo FDA. At least 23andme seemed more straightforward.

Genetic Genie just published this on fb:

quote:
Next week, Genetic Genie will be making changes to the claims on the website significantly change the text on the Methylation Analysis. Unfortunately, this means that any info that could be considered a form medical guidance will be removed indefinitely. Genetic Genie will still be able to accept raw data from new 23andMe customers.

"...Genetic Genie will still be able to accept raw data..."

What does that mean? What will they do with the raw data since they can't tell you what it means?

Noooooooooo!!!! Can anyone who knows genetic genie tell the important links that will be going away?

What will genetic genie be able to tell us now? Isn't it the health analysis part that they do????

Can someone please make sense of this for me???

This is sounding so pointless to even get the 23andme test if analysis can't be done.

I can apparently still request a 23andme refund since I just sent in the kit.
