Our team of scientists and medical experts use a robust process to develop genetic reports for our customers. Here are specific examples:With one of the largest reference datasets in the world, 23andMe provides customers with one of the most detailed and accurate ancestry breakdowns on the market. Our algorithms make ancestry estimates based on probabilities and they’re generally very accurate, but your results are not set in stone. We are always trying to improve and refine these estimates.How does 23andMe DNA testing work?After you provide a saliva sample, 23andMe uses genotyping to analyse your DNA. This means we look at specific locations in your genome that are known to differ between people. We then turn those results into personalised genetic reports on everything from ancestry composition to traits to genetic health risks. Note that genotyping is different from DNA sequencing, which looks at every letter in a particular stretch of DNA.Who can use 23andMe?Most adults who are able to provide saliva samples can use the 23andMe kit. However there are some considerations that can complicate the DNA accuracy. Check out our Terms of Service for more info on those cases.How do I get my 23andMe reports and how long does it take?To begin, visit www.23andme.org/start. Once you have successfully registered your DNA testing kit, provided a saliva sample and put the kit in the post, you can use the return tracking link available on your profile homepage to track your kit's progress to the lab. Once your sample reaches the lab, it is typically processed within a few weeks, with results then delivered to your secure online account.Do 23andMe DNA test kits expire?We encourage customers to provide their sample before the "Collect saliva by" date on the side of the collection tube. If your sample collection kit is lost or damaged, or if it has expired, please contact customer care to assist you with getting a replacement kit.Why should I choose 23andMe?There are many benefits of DNA testing, including finding relatives and receiving personalised insights into your insights into your health and ancestry. We're also committed to providing you with a safe place where you can learn about your DNA knowing your privacy is protected. 23andMe has sold 12+ million kits, and with each and every one of those, privacy has been our number one priority.

You control your data.Analyzed in CLIA-certified U.S. labs14M+ people have explored their DNA*The 23andMe PGS test includes health predisposition and carrier status reports. Health predisposition reports include both reports that meet FDA requirements for genetic health risks and reports which are based on 23andMe research and have not been reviewed by the FDA. The test uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks and reporting carrier status. It is not intended to diagnose any disease. Your ethnicity may affect the relevance of each report and how your genetic health risk results are interpreted. Each genetic health risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe a person’s overall risk of developing the disease. The test is not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication, how much of a medication you should take, or determine any treatment. Our carrier status reports can be used to determine carrier status, but cannot determine if you have two copies of any genetic variant. These carrier reports are not intended to tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future, the health of your fetus, or your newborn child's risk of developing a particular disease later in life. For certain conditions, we provide a single report that includes information on both carrier status and genetic health risk. Warnings & Limitations: The 23andMe PGS Genetic Health Risk Report for BRCA1/BRCA2 (Selected Variants) is indicated for reporting of 44 variants in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes. The report describes if a person's genetic result is associated with an increased risk of developing breast cancer and ovarian cancer and may be associated with an increased risk for prostate cancer, pancreatic cancer, and potentially other cancers. The variants included in this report do not represent the majority of the BRCA1/BRCA2 variants in people of most ethnicities. This report does not include variants in other genes linked to hereditary cancers and the absence of variants included in this report does not rule out the presence of other genetic variants that may impact cancer risk. This report is for over-the-counter use by adults over the age of 18, and provides genetic information to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. The PGS test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional for recommended screenings or appropriate follow-up. Results should be confirmed in a clinical setting before taking any medical action.
