Genetic Screening and Information Resources Available to the Public
Genetic Screening for the Public: www.23andme.com
23andme will give you useful and scientifically valid genetic information at a good price
23andme is a website with a focus on genetic testing for the public. A kit is mailed to you and has a Q-tip that is used to collect a cheek swab. This picks up DNA from the cheek. In 3 weeks you will receive an email notice that your testing is complete.
For $499 (5.8.10) you can have your genome scanned and “own your data”. This is not a complete scan of the human genome, which still costs $20,000. 23andme scans about 500,000 genes (complete gene scanning is over 2 million genes).
Would you like to know which diseases (based on present genetic science) you might be at higher (or lower) risk for? Disease risk is reported as higher risk for a disease, average risk, and lower risk (based on the average). For example the average colon cancer risk is reported at 6.1%, and an individual may have an increased risk of 7.9%.
Other services offered at 23andme:
- Disease risk (for example, Type 1 Diabetes, 1.5% individual risk vs. 1.0% ave. risk)
- Carrier status (for example,Familial Hypercholesterolemia Type B – Variant is Absent)
- Drug response (for example, Coumadin = Typical, Caffeine Metabolism = Fast Metabolizer, Plavix = Typical, Birth Control Pills in Women and Risk of Clots = Typical)
- Traits (for example, brown eyes, likely lactose tolerant, likely sprinter, HDL cholesterol = typical, resistance to AIDS)
- Health Labs (for example, how much of your weight can you blame on obesity? what is your risk of a heart attack in the next 10 years?)

SNP Pedia (Note: A “SNP” is a change in a gene code, which changes gene expression)
http://www.snpedia.com/index.php/SNPedia
SNPedia is a wiki investigating human genetics. We share information about the effects of variations in DNA, citing peer-reviewed scientific publications. It is used to analyze and help explain your DNA.
