@Carl - Thank you for the kind follow-up. I did let them know how many days it had been when I wrote. Also, funny enough, when they sent me a kit, they didn't include a packing slip to return, so I had to contact them. They provided me a packing slip and after I sent my specimen, another collection kit arrived in the mail. I didn't know if they had received my original sample and if they needed another; they did not, the second kit was sent in error. All of this could be sorted out easily if they provided better updates in one's online Dante Labs account. The woman who has responded, Claudia, has been polite and responsive each time I've contacted them. They did receive my original sample, it has been processed, and is just at some final "quality" review stage...have no idea what that means, but hopefully results will be coming soon.
I don't know which genes in particular for ME/CFS and they would not either, I'm fairly sure, since it is still being worked out in research. There are some papers with threads on here discussing specific genes, so I will be looking at those again when my results are back and so will have to duplicate some of my prior research searches on PR. I'm specifically interested in ruling out any mitochondrial diseases, which is my original purpose in WGS. Also, I'd like to have the data so I can provide it to researchers. And, I'll be happy to have my results as new research is published so I can track where I might fit or not fit.
I plan to also upload the data to some programs, like Promethease, that help interpret results. My 23&Me results were helpful on Promethease as I learned I'm at high risk for having a severe reaction to a gout medication. After reading up, I learned that normally only Asian people are screened for the genetic defect (I'm Caucasian) prior to being prescribed the drug.
