Just to be clear to others reading this. 23andMe SNP results are a far cry from being "fully sequenced". The technology to do full sequencing is out there, and it's way, way more detailed than what 23andMe is currently offering.
Also, as others have pointed out, their results should not be used for medical decision making without some confirmatory work in a fully certified medical diagnostic lab.
- jjcm 14y agoIt's true that they aren't up to par with some of the other genetic tests out there, but they're the only one who offers anything at a reasonable price. Even if the results don't have the confidence level that other companies may provide, it's still better than, "you're Caucasian so you probably will develop X over your lifetime."
