"23andMe is a retail DNA testing service providing information and tools for consumers to learn about and explore their DNA. We utilize the Illumina OmniExpress Plus Research Use Only Chip which has been customized for use in all of our products and services by 23andMe. All of the laboratory testing for 23andMe is done in a CLIA-certified laboratory."
I am not affiliated with this company in any way--this is not an advertisement nor an endorsement. An acquaintance of mine who works in the field used them to get her genetic profile and recommends their service. I am sharing it here because I think some people might be interested. You can check for quite a few things that would be of interest to people here and their treatment provider(s).

I don't think anyone has to know about it. It's confidential, I think.

No problem how could you know? The girl I mentioned would have used her insurance. And bingo there it would be good or bad. Phillipa
