Sharing My DNA Results

by Andrew Meyer on April 9, 2008

23 chromosome pairs

Lot’s of people have been asking me if I got any interesting or bad news in my genetic profile. There’s a handful of data packed into my genetic profile and I haven’t yet gotten through all of it.

I think it would be a lot easier to just share my genome results with you guys so you can explore them yourself. Then we can all be on the same page and you can get a better feel for the service I’m experiencing.

This will also allow people like my mom to give me health advice tailored more to my actual genetic predispositions than general concerns. :)

I’m still going to post about my experiences and discoveries using 23andMe but now friends, family and readers can get up-close and personal with the company I’ve been talking about for the past few months.

Here’s what you need to do so I can share my DNA results:

1) Sign up for a 23andMe demo account here.
2) Email me your 23andMe username at andrew@buzzyeah.com.
3) Or, instead you can just add “andrewmeyer”.

Have fun exploring and let me know if you find anything interesting. Check out 23andMe’s Help section if you have questions like “What information will other users see when I share with them?” or “How does genome sharing work?

When you sign up for a 23andMe demo account the default is to let you explore genetic data for the fake Mendel family.

Hopefully, I’m more exciting than the Mendel family.

  • I'm not sure what people with just demo accounts will be able to view of my genetic profile when I add them. Let me know.
  • Can I use this info on my blog using the direct link to your blog? Thanks in advance
  • All these are generally covered by insurance, while personal DNA testing is not. As for sharing my exam results with my doctor, ...
  • Interesting! A genetic profile.
