Recently got my 23andme test results. Now what??

Messages

Hi,

I recently got my 23andme test results, and I was wondering if I could get some guidance as to what to do now? I am quite new to all this.

I got an email recently from 23andme telling me my test results were ready... but when I logged into my account, I just saw a couple of reports they had on me, telling me about my ancestry, if I had lactose intolerance or not, and other things like that.

I didn't see anywhere any mention about what SNP's I had, if I had an MTHFR genetic mutation, etc.

I heard that they can also provide you with your "raw data" (I think on what SNP's you have, etc?). Does anyone know where can I access the "raw data" that they provide?

I read (from people on this site) that you can then send your raw data to some genetic testing websites/services (eg. Ben Lynch's new service called Strategene, as well as several others), that can then come up with helpful genetic analyses for you, based on that raw data. (I guess letting you know what SNP's you have, etc)

What am I supposed to do now that I have the 23andme test results back? Please help!

Thanks!!

(PS. It would be helpful if perhaps there was a file up on this site to provide this info to newbies)

I cant remember off my head where the raw data exactly is downloaded from the 23andME results without signing in there myself but it is there somewhere and Im sure another will post and tell you. (I remember it took me a bit to find the raw data download link)

Im posting to give the link for one of the places once you have found it there and downloaded it, you can put it into for free results eg to see if you have the MTHFR mutation etc http://geneticgenie.org/ (for methylation and detox analysis)

edit.. actually maybe this link will take you right to the 23andME raw data download spot https://geneticgenie.org/methylation-analysis/

@Healthy7 - You can download your raw data from https://www.23andme.com/you/download/

Genetic genie can provide some limited (and often wrong) information regarding methylation.

I also have a downloadable program at https://sourceforge.net/projects/analyzemygenes/ which can be used to find your rare mutations. I recommend downloading "remarks.zip" and "ten_percent.zip" from https://sourceforge.net/projects/analyzemygenes/files/Databases/ and unzipping them into the same folder. The "remarks" file will give gene names and mutation info when applicable, and can be especially useful in conjunction with the "ten_percent.zip" file, since it produces a lot of results.

does it run on a mac?

I am waiting for my 23andme results due in 6 - 8 weeks. I'm looking forward to getting the raw data too.I had a memory that a while ago Lucinda Bateman was asking for this raw data for her group to study. Does anyone know if they are still doing this? Would Prof Ron Davis at OMF be interested too?

just got my results!!!!!!

promethease.com is definitely worth the 10$ (i like the way the data is organized)
i will try the sourceforge links in this thread because i have debilitating unexplained neuropathy all over my body.

SNP = Single Nucleotide Polymorphism. This is a single allele on a chromosome.
CHR = Chromosome.
MA = Minor Allele. The less frequent of the two possible alleles for this SNP.
MAF = Minor Allele Frequency. This is given in decimal form, not percentage.
Percentage frequency = MAF x 100
Heterozygous rate = (1 - MAF) x MAF x 200
Homozygous minor rate = MAF x MAF x 100
Homozygous major rate = (1 - MAF) x (1 - MAF) x 100
GT = Genotype. Two alleles indicate the user's genotype.
ETC = Information from extra databases used, and flags for homozygous results.
Genes = the name of the gene(s) which the SNP is on, if any.
Homozygous = homozygous for the minor allele.
Renamed = alternative rs numbers for that SNP.
Mutation = Information for missense mutations and nonsense mutations.
These result in structural alterations of the protein created by the gene.
The name of the mutation consists of 1-4 digits between two letters.
The digits represent the position of the mutation on the created protein.
The first letter represents the more common amino acid created by that SNP.
The last letter represents the alternative amino acid created by that SNP.
The number in parantheses is the BLOSUM62 score, ranging from -4 to 4.
BLOSUM62 scores the difference between common and alterted amino acids.
-4 indicates the most extreme difference, and 4 indicates no difference.
BLOSUM62 scores are not definitive of pathogenic or benign status.
Example: "Mutation T96I (-1)"
Threonine (T) is the normal amino acid.
It is located at position 96 for the protein created by this gene.
Isoleucine (I) replaces it, which is only moderately different (-1).
Clinsig = Impact of the allele change, based on the available scientific research
"Pathogenic" can be disease-causing or just cause a significant change.
"Benign" is not disease-causing.
For more general information and research regarding these SNPs, see:
dbSNP: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/SNP/ - SNP data maintained by the NIH.
OMIM: http://omim.org/ - Data for human genes and SNP genetic diseases.
Google Scholar: https://scholar.google.com/ - Search engine for research articles.

i feel dumb, i must not be looking up these up the correct way


on geneticgenie have red for

VDR Bsm rs1544410 TT
MTHFR A1298C rs1801131 GG
MTRR A66G rs1801394 GG

and yellow for
COMT V158M rs4680 AG
COMT H62H rs4633 CT
MTR A2756G rs1805087 AG
CBS C699T rs234706 AG
HMT1 C1420T rs1979277 AG

a lot of them say not genotyped


UPDATE
I have two homozygous mutations...... but im reading that mthfr supplements are a scam to push supplements so I feel like I wasted half my day :bang-head:
