Frequently Asked Questions

What types of health reports are NOT included?

We do not currently offer reports on hereditary risks for diseases like cancer and heart disease.

How do I receive my reports?
Our service is exclusively online. You’ll receive your reports through a password-protected account at 23andme, and you’ll have access to additional web-based tools and features.

In order to receive reports and participate in the service, you need to have a valid email address that allows you to send and receive messages. You also need access to a computer or mobile device that connects to the Internet.

Why do I need to register my kit?
You need to register your kit in order to link it to your 23andMe account online. Registration connects the barcode on your saliva sample to your account so we know your sample belongs to you. Our lab cannot process your sample if it is not registered.

How does my DNA become a report?
Your saliva contains DNA from cells in your mouth. We send you a saliva collection kit and instructions for providing your sample.

Our lab extracts DNA from cells in your saliva sample. Then the lab processes the DNA on a genotyping chip that reads hundreds of thousands of locations in your genome.

Your genetic data is analyzed, and we generate your personalized reports based on well-established scientific and medical research.

How is my privacy protected?
