I think it may just be taking time for scientists to start working with their pipeline, which is somewhat cumbersome simply due to their privacy controls. I predict we will start seeing more studies soon. See my other comment on this thread for details about one of those studies.

That seems highly unlikely. 23andMe has been in operation since 2006. They hit UK Biobank sample size sometime around 2010. The Biobank researchers have been managing to pump out paper after paper (check out Bioxiv!) over the past half-year even though as far as I can tell, their genetics pipeline only started yielding data back around October 2015. How long are we supposed to wait on 23andMe before concluding that they just aren't making very good use of their data from the perspective of the public interest and have focused on commercialization?
