User questions & answers

Question:	Why does this brand lump british & irish together? (i noticed ancestry dna lists them separately). the genes are significantly different. thanks
Answer:	It will if you have a significant difference, if that is the case, it will drill down to say Irish. For instance, my husband (who is from Ireland) was 99% British and Irish, and then drilled down to 99% Irish. I was 88% from Spain and Portugal (I'm from Portugal) and then drilled down to 88% Portugal. I never mentioned to them I was from Portugal so the fact that they determined that I was Portuguese and not Spanish or a mixture was a surprise. Now, if you only have a small percentage they may not be able to distinguish between the two groups. Hope this helped!
Question:	Does this test include access to raw data
Answer:	There is access to your raw data, however if you recently took the test and have results under the V5 chip, you will not be able to upload to many third party sites at this time as this raw data is not yet supportrd
Question:	In regards to finding out my Native American roots, will this provide ancestral records to tribal affiliation
Answer:	Not only will it not provide tribal affiliation, there is a notable rate of false negatives for Native American ancestry in DNA testing right now (both 23andme and other companies). Meaning these results might say you have zero Native ancestry even when you do have some. People who have their family tree well documented and live on reservations have had this happen, due to the comparison samples the companies use to test against.
Question:	do i pay for shipping to return test
Answer:	you don't need to pay for return shipping but you'll probably need to send it more than once because they lose kits all the time.

User questions & answers

Question:	Do the results give countries or just continents? I would like one that gives specific countries
Answer:	Just a general response to all the older responses to questions. All of the DNA companies are constantly changing their DNA results. The more people that have the test, that more data goes into improving the accuracy and/or improves the ability to be more specific. Therefore, just wanted to say, as time goes on, the older responses may no longer be valid.
Question:	Do you get both maternal and paternal lines with this test
Answer:	Not distinct, separate lines, no. But you do get those results, just mixed up. AncestryDNA tests only autosomal chromosomes; that is, non-sex chromosomes. These are the 22 chromosomes everyone has regardless of gender. That means your results will show both your parents' ancestry, even if you're female, but it'll be combined - you won't be able to tell which parent provided which country or DNA result. For maternal- and paternal-specific ancestry (mtDNA and YDNA, respectively), 23andme provides this testing. AncestryDNA stopped doing it in 2014 (see https://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2014/06/12/comments-on-y-dna-and-mtdna-tests/). I recommend doing both AncestryDNA and 23andme for a more comprehensive picture of your background. And if you're female, ask a male relative (father, brother, paternal uncle) to do 23andme so you can extrapolate your paternal YDNA and haplogroup, since females do not carry the Y sex chromosome. Again, this is not available via AncestryDNA.If you are only interested in overall, general, "big-picture" results, and aren't concerned with specifics like which part of the world your maternal/paternal line came from per se, or your haplogroups, then AncestryDNA is the way to go.
Question:	Are these results on a par with 23andme? Are they identical or is there more info or less
Answer:	Depends on what you’re using it for. I took Ancestry and my sister to 23andme. We were looking to confirm our relatives not our ethnicity. We had way more matches and have been able to find common ancestors with other DNA matches. 23 and me is harder to sort through the matches and I’m not sure If you can even see other people’s family trees as i haven’t figured it out in almost a year
Question:	How many past generations does this test go back? Will it test going back a few hundred years
Answer:	That depends on your ancestry and the number of people of similar ancestry who have tested. Biggest group is European heritage. I have 6th and 7th generation matches going back to colonial New England because there was a good degree of pedigree collapse (genetic reinforcement due to small populations intermarrying) The majority of matches will be in the 4th cousin range. However, matches are pointless unless you have a decent family tree (at least 4 generations) and respond to messages because you will not be able to make the connections otherwise.

User questions & answers

Question:	It says you need an Ancestry account. Do you have to pay for their online site
Answer:	No, you don't have to pay, yet again, to see your results. If you want to see how you relate to other people via your DNA, yes, you do need a subscription. There is a 50% discount for the first 6 months or so, but you need to ask for it. I found my Father using Ancestry, BTW.
Question:	What happens to your DNA once the test is performed
Answer:	Nothing happens to it. If you are worried about someone somehow getting into the database your account is only identified as a random number. You can also send in the test under a fake name (few in my family did this, used a Pets name the street name) Only downside to doing that is you won’t be able to link to any potential relatives. At the end of the day I know DNA can be obtained from just about anything I touch or use in so if someone really wants it they can get it -shrug-
Question:	Does this kit provide info about genetic snp's like mthfr mutations
Answer:	The AncestryDNA or 23 and Me “Ethnicity + HEALTH” tests DO provide info as to what gene mutations you have and a list of what health issues you are dispositioned for due to said mutation. I, for instance, found out I have the MTHFR gene mutation. I learned who I got it from & some scary stuff, such as, being dispositioned for Schizophrenia and miscarriages (and about 99 more things). It is really hard to find a doctor who knows anything about it. You’d need to visit mthfr(dot)net and research for yourself. Sadly.
Question:	Why should i buy from amazon when there is a disclaimer stating not to because the kit could be rejected
Answer:	What the others above said was correct. It’s sold by Ancestry but shipped by Amazon. (Like most things here. Brands/sellers are selling their item on Amazon & Amazon ships. I just got my results back & my adult son should have his back any day. Super easy process and it’s fun! I was very surprised by mine. 100% Trusted to buy from Amazon. If you buy it from Ancestry site you’ll be paying like $40 in shipping (I think it’s actually more than $40) & why I purchased them here! Good luck!

User questions & answers

Question:	Will the saliva still work for the test after 2 months? I have to ship the saliva from Panama
Answer:	As long as you've added the buffer solution to your sample, it's good for up to six months. However, 23andMe sample kits must be used in and returned for analysis from, the country to which the order is originally shipped.
Question:	Im confused! some reviews say the government banned health reports yet 23&me advertises a health report. what am i missing
Answer:	As of October 21, 2015, 23andMe has launched a completely new website experience to customers in the United States. The new experience includes access to more than 60 personalized genetic reports that include carrier status*, wellness, and trait reports. You can preview a full list of available reports here: https://www.23andme.com/service/
Question:	It says one lithium battery required? What does that mean
Answer:	No batteries are required.
Question:	do i get the same results from promethease for the $99 23&me kit as the $199 kit? which one should i get??? ty
Answer:	I would say that yes you get the same results. Or atleast that is my understanding from this statement that was on the promethease website."23andMe $99 "ancestry only" product, is sufficient for Promethease, or the $199 "ancestry + health" product, which also includes carrier status reports. One time payment, lifetime membership. Both products use the (same) customized Illumina chip which covers 25695 of the 94743 SNPs in SNPedia. Less than 2,000 of these are known to be in ClinVar; presumably some of the proprietarily named "i-SNPs" correspond to ClinVar/SNPedia entries as well but 23andMe does not reveal which publicly or to its non-corporate users."https://www.snpedia.com/index.php/Testing

User questions & answers

Question:	Does this include both the testing kit and lab work.....all in one price
Answer:	yes, this includes both the test kit and lab work for the standard test.
Question:	The "Family Matching. Enhanced Results" picture shows names of relatives. Would other possible relatives be able to get my name
Answer:	It DEPENDS on how you set your privacy settings. You can select PRIVATE, immediate & close relatives or distant relatives or ALL relatives. So like another person said you can also just use initials instead of your full name if you want too.
Question:	Does this kit include a copy of the raw data code
Answer:	Yes
Question:	Do you have to sign that they will own your dna and genetic information forever? Do they share that info with 3rd parties
Answer:	Ancestry.com & 23 & Me can sell your DNA to 3rd parties (although your name is not attached to your DNA...."anonymous") BUT Family Tree DNA makes a PROMISE to NEVER sell or share it even anonymously. When you die & if you have not given a family member your kit # & password to log into your account (I'm giving it to my 3 sisters) or if you do not have a "beneficiary" with a GOOD contact email & phone # then they will "own" your DNA at that point at least for 25 years after you submitted your DNA but I don't know if they can still keep your RAW DATA & what they do with it then...maybe research of some kind with geneaology stuff like surnames? I think after a person dies ....ALL the companies have rights of some kind to your DNA or data or both?

User questions & answers

Question:	how accuracy is this test
Answer:	I feel it’s pretty accurate. I had the test done with Ancestory first and thought I’d do the My Heritage to see how they compared. They were very close in most all. A couple differences but nothing major. I do trust the accuracy.
Question:	How many people can I use it on
Answer:	Hi, the test is for one person. I hope that helps. Kind regards, Shlomi - MyHeritage Support team.
Question:	do I have to pay a subscription fee to access information
Answer:	If you are not a registered user at MyHeritage, you need to create a free account once you ordered and received your kit, in order to activate it.

Question:	Are the swab samples being destroyed after the results are posted
Answer:	As per our Terms & Conditions, users may request their DNA sample to be destroyed. We can only do so after the results are uploaded - destroying a DNA sample at the lab will not affect the online results. However, once a DNA sample is destroyed, there will be no option to retest the sample. Usually, one vial is for safekeeping which we can use, for example, if we decide to upgrade the chip for testing in the future.

User questions & answers

Question:	Is there any specific time frame between the collection and sending the specimens back to the laboratory
Answer:	Yes this test can be used on a new born child. Great Questions...Thank You!
Question:	Does this work for grandparents
Answer:	Typically to be used in court, the samples (cheek swans) would need to be collected by a medical professional. This guarantees the swabs haven't been contaminated or misused. It also provides a witness to the collection of the DNA material. For court purposes, this type of testing should not be used.
Question:	Can this be used on a one month baby
Answer:	I don't think so.
Question:	Can this be used in court
Answer:	No grip or comb, just the headband itself.
