I thought we went through all this FDA stuff with all of the labs a few years ago?

I read the letter and understand the reasoning behind it. What possible affects could this have on us who use this site for genealogy.

I received an email from 23andMe, Sunday 11-24-13 telling me that I would have to be retested at no charge. Wonder if the FDA letter had anything to do with testing being suspended until compliance? I have tested with Ancestry and FTdna with no problems re the saliva sample. >________________________________ > From: Marilyn Bess <marilynbess1939@gmail.com> >To: autosomal-dna@rootsweb.com >Sent: Monday, November 25, 2013 10:38 AM >Subject: Re: [AUTOSOMAL-DNA] 2013 > 23andMe, Inc. 11/22/13 warning letter from the Feds > > >I read the letter and understand the reasoning behind it.  What possible >affects could this have on us who use this site for genealogy.  Marilyn > > >On Mon, Nov 25, 2013 at 10:28 AM, Mary Guler <mlmguler@yahoo.com> wrote: > >> >> >> http://www.fda.gov/ICECI/EnforcementActions/WarningLetters/2013/ucm376296.htm >> >> >> ______________________________ >> For answers to Frequently Asked Questions about mailing lists, please see: >> http://dgmweb.net/MailingListFAQs.html >> >> >> ------------------------------- >> To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to >> AUTOSOMAL-DNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without >> the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >> > > >______________________________ >For answers to Frequently Asked Questions about mailing lists, please see: >http://dgmweb.net/MailingListFAQs.html > > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to AUTOSOMAL-DNA-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >

It could put 23andMe out of business. I got tested with them for medical reasons, not genealogy, and found I have Warfarin sensitivity. Knowing this could someday save my life. I don't want this kind of testing banned. Alternatively, nor do I want to need a prescription from my doctor to get tested, with my doctor in control of interpreting results, because this is where it appears we're headed if the FDA gets its way. Knowledge is a good thing, and just because there's a potential for some people to mis-use it shouldn't prevent the rest of us from getting it. If you want to protect people's health, ban cigarettes and alcohol, not genetic testing!

Well, consider what will happen if they decide to simply emulate FTDNA and Ancestry, and not report medically related SNPs: they will lose their real uniqueness, and order rates will drop. They of course could still continue to offer everything else.
