Otherwise they could be getting someone else's data. I think everyone who tested before should be allowed to their new samples tested in a CLIA certified lab for FREE!!!!!

Nor do I know anything about CLIA except for what I read on their limited-on-info site this morning. The only thing that counts for me is that the personal genome service that I've chosen, 23andMe, continuously does homework on the labs, equipment etc that they use in order to provide me with optimal service. As a consumer, that's all I can ask for. I'm not at all a professional in the genome or medical world. So, its hard for me to deduce that CLIA-certified results are any different than the 99.9% accurate lab that 23andMe was previously using. All I can do is count on 23andMe to use their internal accountability systems on the labs, equipment etc they use. I know nothing about lab certification.

If you think that it is very good without certification, well then you are less skeptical than I. Keep the faith and be glad that they switched Labs. Too bad they now have LabCorp in lock down. It turns out LabCorp has NYS certification too, something that is required for testing in NYC. Now LabCorp is placing all its other Genomic Testing company agreements on Hold.....personally, they may try and get out of the 23andme deal too.....so be glad you are getting your SNPs done by LabCorp...that may not last too long. -Steve www.thegenesherpa.blogspot.com Andrew,
