Legal Disclaimer:
* The 23andMe PGS test includes health predisposition and carrier status reports. Health predisposition reports include both reports that meet FDA requirements for genetic health risks and reports which are based on 23andMe research and have not been reviewed by the FDA. The test uses qualitative genotyping to detect select clinically relevant variants in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting genetic health risks and reporting carrier status. It is not intended to diagnose any disease. Your ethnicity may affect the relevance of each report and how your genetic health risk results are interpreted. Each genetic health risk report describes if a person has variants associated with a higher risk of developing a disease, but does not describe a person’s overall risk of developing the disease. The test is not intended to tell you anything about your current state of health, or to be used to make medical decisions, including whether or not you should take a medication, how much of a medication you should take, or determine any treatment. Our carrier status reports can be used to determine carrier status, but cannot determine if you have two copies of any genetic variant. These carrier reports are not intended to tell you anything about your risk for developing a disease in the future, the health of your fetus, or your newborn child's risk of developing a particular disease later in life. For certain conditions, we provide a single report that includes information on both carrier status and genetic health risk. Visit 23andMe for important test information.
**23andMe PGS Pharmacogenetics reports: The 23andMe test uses qualitative genotyping to detect 3 variants in the CYP2C19 gene, 2 variants in the DPYD gene and 1 variant in the SLCO1B1 gene in the genomic DNA of adults from saliva for the purpose of reporting and interpreting information about the processing of certain therapeutics to inform discussions with a healthcare professional. It does not describe if a person will or will not respond to a particular therapeutic. Our CYP2C19 Pharmacogenetics report provides certain information about variants associated with metabolism of some therapeutics and provides interpretive drug information regarding the potential effect of citalopram and clopidogrel therapy. Our SLCO1B1 Pharmacogenetics report provides certain information about variants associated with the processing of some therapeutics and provides interpretive drug information regarding the potential effect of simvastatin therapy. Our DPYD Pharmacogenetics report does not describe the association between detected variants and any specific therapeutic. Results for DPYD and certain CYP2C19 results should be confirmed by an independent genetic test prescribed by your own healthcare provider before taking any medical action. Warning: Test information should not be used to start, stop, or change any course of treatment and does not test for all possible variants that may affect metabolism or protein function. The PGS test is not a substitute for visits to a healthcare professional. Making changes to your current regimen can lead to harmful side effects or reduced intended benefits of your medication, therefore consult with your healthcare professional before taking any medical action. Visit 23andMe for important Pharmacogenetics information.
Before you can use 23andMe services and see your reports, you must agree to 23andMe's Terms of Service and 23andMe’s Privacy Statement at the time of kit registration. For use in Canada only - kits shipped or used outside Canada will be invalidated.

- Reviewed in Canada on May 23, 2025Verified PurchaseI loved this kit! It was delivered right to my home and was very easy to send back. 23andMe was great to deal with, and I’m really pleased with the report and the depth of their database. Highly recommend purchasing it!
- Reviewed in Canada on June 27, 2022Verified PurchaseFor all of you who think you can do your DNA just for fun. Yes it is fun, but only if you are a genealogical researcher and don't believe everything that is written. This kit is as good as any of the other kits. To do your DNA you should start off either with this one here or with the one from Ancestry. Why? Both companies don't allow uploads. To work with DNA you need as many matches as you can get. Ancestry right now has still the largest data bank, but MyHeritage is following real quick. 23andme doesn't have the data bank, but they have a refined data bank. You can download your raw DNA from any company and uploaded to many free websites to get as many matches to work with DNA. Before you order a test you better put your head into Google and learn more how DNA works. You need to understand how it works to get the best results for yourself. Do not use it for ethnicity. Although the companies love lingering to this part of advertising. It's a disappointment, because it will not tell you who you are. You need to do that type of work for yourself and every companies ethnicity is only an estimate not a fact.
If you want to use it to get families together this test is as good as all the others. Again, more matches better chances to find close relatives.
Do not purchase if you expect miracles.
You can use this kit for health analyzing as well if you upload it to a website called Promethease. You pay a few dollars and it is less expensive than getting the health kit. The health analysis are not correct and based on overall studies that may or may not fit into your life or genetic studies. If you have lots of money to spend you can use any or every kit. DNA stays the same.
Good luck with your new experience.
- Reviewed in Canada on February 6, 2025Verified PurchaseI have always like this product. Used this in the past when hubby & I did our own amcestry test.
- Reviewed in Canada on December 17, 2024Verified PurchaseI ordered from 23andMe because other family members ordered the kit and were very happy with the amount of information provided. Looking forward to seeing my results. Very simple process for collecting sample and postage paid return.
- Reviewed in Canada on November 2, 2024Verified PurchaseOriginally bought this 6 years ago. Just bought one for my partner. Literally had NO IDEA that my dad wasn’t my dad. Did the test for the ethnic information. Was shocked when family members I didn’t know showed up. One awkward conversation later with my mom and alas…… so maybe BEWARE??? MAY CAUSE FAMILIAL ISSUES YOU WERE NEVER EXPECTING!!

- Reviewed in Canada on March 2, 2023Verified PurchaseAll the kits have the same description which makes it confusing to know which one to buy. So I bought this one, which only gives you your DNA connections and helps you build a tree. I had to upgrade my kit after the fact to get the health traits I was also after. The huge plus here was that I have Prime, so shipping was free, and the kit itself includes shipping back to the lab. Another huge plus is that you don’t have to pay a monthly membership fee to keep accessing all these things, unlike the other dna program that makes you pay for everything. I would highly recommend 23&me for all those reasons. I even spoke with my doctor about my results and she was very curious about it and very impressed by all the details I learned.
- Reviewed in Canada on October 21, 2022Verified PurchaseI dislike the fact that I got poor results and that there's 1,500 DNA matches that are less than 5% all across the country undoubtedly other people that got scammed. This is a pyramid scheme as well as any other DNA test. All the health tests eventually tell you to go see your doctor and see if you're prone to any of the health problems. I spent $245 on this and found it to have very poor results. They try to get you to contact these relatives that don't even have your name and you're not related by DNA. Just because you share 5% doesn't mean they're relatives. It does tell you however what your line is. So far I found out I'm British and Irish which I already knew. It is useless and seeing as I'm past the 30 day refund I will probably not receive my money back. Do not fall for this gimmick because you'll be scammed and spend your money basically for nothing. Once they do the test they stretch it out so it's past the 30-day refund and of course 鶹 won't refund my money either because I've already used the product and they're refund is 30 days I think and if the products been used that would probably disqualify me I'm very dissatisfied. Look on the internet the FDA says most of this is the most prevalent scam these days. Don't buy into it. Thanks and good luck to people that try it because you won't like the results which are minimal at best. They actually ask you to get other people involved and try out their product which makes it a pyramid scam. Maybe 鶹 knows it's a pyramid scam and doesn't care. There's more than one pyramid scam on 鶹 I'm sure. Shame on you 鶹!
