I am friends with some academic researchers that recently completed a study with 23andMe. My friends designed the experiment, 24andMe researches applied their design to the data and reported the statistical outcome. For their field, the results had the most significance seen yet for the phenotype studied. The genetic variants identified in the study will now go into further testing to understand the mechanisms by which they are acting, which will take time. Nonetheless, this will be a substantial step forward for the field.
