23andMe is the best value for the money. $99 for 960,000 SNPs, versus $495 from Yasko for a few dozen. In addition, the few which Yasko tests that aren't in 23andMe are mostly irrelevant anyhow.I am looking into getting my methilation and detox genes tested, I want to know which one is the best to get done and the most complete analysis, I can afford it so price is not an issue (within reason), I prefer to have it as complete as possible.
Odd. Maybe the FDA doesn't know that there are SNPs proven to be pathogenic?The Food and Drug Administration has ordered DNA testing company 23andMe to stop marketing its over-the-counter genetic test, saying it’s being sold illegally to diagnose diseases, and with no proof it actually works.
I also have a downloadable program at http://sourceforge.net/projects/analyzemygenes/ which can let you pull out your extremely rare SNPs, in case there's anything of interest in there.
http://sourceforge.net/p/analyzemygenes/wiki/Home/ has step-by-step instructions. It wants your unzipped 23andMe file, plus a database file (the 1% database gets automatically selected for you).@Valentijn I couldn't figure out what to do with the Sourceforge program when I opened it. What type file does it want from the 23andme folder? Are there detailed instructions for using Sourceforge somewhere?
Blessings to you!
