Hi
I'm kicking myself as I only ordered my 23andme kit on 29th. According to their website:
"Customers who purchased kits on or after the FDA’s warning letter of November 22nd will not have access to health-related results. Those customers will have access to ancestry-related genetic information and their raw data without 23andMe’s interpretation of that data. They may receive health-related results in the future, depending on FDA marketing authorization."
Do you think there is any point in this data (if it doesn't give the health-related results)? Can anything useful be done with the "raw data"? I was hoping to find out stuff like whether or not I have the MTHFR gene or not.
I have also read that 23andMe are changing to a new chip in the next few weeks. If I had raw results from the new chip - would they be useless? http://blog.23andme.com/news/23andmes-new-custom-chip/
Do you think I continue with 23andme or get a refund? I don't really have much money so did 23andme because it was affordable.
thanks for any advice. I'd just started to find out about gene testing - but I haven't done enough research to understand how it works.
