How can I interpret 23andme results?

[Singout]

I got this test as a gift from my brother because I've been the family historian for a long time, but it also includes the medical data.

However, I have *no* idea what it means or what to do with it. I'm not looking for a specific piece of data, just anything that might denote an abnormality and maybe lead to a helpful analysis/treatment. I see columns about "variants" and "genotypes" but nothing I can read in the way I can read my blood labs as being "too high" or "too low."

Can someone point me to a program that can analyse this helpfully? That would do me more good that knowing how many Neandarthal traits I have.

Thank you!

Did you download your raw data from 23andme?

You can then upload it to a service like Promethease or Sterling's app to get a report that would look similar to the one below.

Thanks, Judee. So then the green results would be "good" and the red ones would be "bad" and I'd have to find out what the bad results meant?

Yeah, but it's a place to start.

As you can see from the snps on my report, MTHFR doesn't seem to be a problem for me. However on other pages of the report, my stage 1 & 2 liver detox (as well as my neurotransmitter pages--serotonin and dopamine) are a mess.

I haven't logged into my Sterling's app for a while but I think they also let you click on some snps and watch a video that gives more info but of course they don't do that for all of them.

Promethese also lets you find snps that have scientific data on them.

Here is a sample report they let you access on their site: https://files.snpedia.com/reports/promethease_data/genome_Lilly_Mendel_v4_ui2.html
