[QUOTE="Marco N Cognito, post: 24639, member: 13"] The 23andme DNA saliva test is accurate. It's not like other saliva testing (e.g. for hormones) some of which are totally useless. The SNPs (mutations) in your genome is what it is. But just having a +/+ or +/- SNP does NOT always equate to whether they are expressed or not. There are way too many many variables to say and it is highly complex (as some SNPs cancel out others) + genetic testing is still very much in its infancy. There are very few specialists that can even interpret what these SNPs mean. Nonetheless, I found it a very useful tool to see what predispositions I have and can act accordingly. One of the most prolific is the MTHFR C677T gene mutation which can contribute to thrombophilia, especially if the homocysteine in elevated (>8). More than just having mutations, the comprehensive blood work I posted upthread needs to be done to rule out actual acquired or heretic coagulopathies. [/QUOTE]
