I don't know anything about this particular filing, but the FDA is primarily concerned with you having demonstrated safety and efficacy.

For this reason, I would suspect the new reports will not include anything that they could not provide scientific evidence for effective differentiation, as well as anything without convincing argument that a report would not increase workup rates, etc. with some inherent risk.



I just like knowing I have the trait for smelling asparagus in urine.


This doesn't seem like something you'd need a genetic test to determine.


I guess that was the point of the joke. All the interesting pieces of information, and more, can't be released by order of the FDA.


Hahah agreed with @kej. Jokes aside, I've held off getting 23andMe because of this reason. Does anyone know?


There have always been partners you can get the entire suite of results from.[1] I don't know how they haven't been restricted, but my guess is the FDA can't ban telling you what a SNP does, but the FDA can ban 23 and me selling it as a service connected somehow? Anyways, you can find out everything you wanted to know and a million other things you probably will have trouble of fully understanding.

Wait; I thought you didn't...
