I want my DNA tested to be able to pull the raw data for health purposes. I couldn’t care less about the “ancestry details”. So many companies out there are doing DNA testing. Which one would give me the most information? As in testing for the largest numbers of gene/gene mutation/markers. There’s the obvious 23&me and Ancestry.com but who else could possibly be a better option? Genomind? CriGenetics?
Ancestry + DSL combined dataset is best. Find an Opus23 practitioner in your area. Or use a TeleHealth service.
What is DSL combined dataset? I’ll check on the practitioner. Thanks.
23andMe v5 version is missing key SNPs especially MAOA / MAOB. Ancestry has those but is missing APOE Alzheimer’s SNPs.
The best combination is Ancestry.com data and DSL data. The company is DiagnosticSolutionsLab. The program that blends and analyzes both datasets is called Opus23. If you need info on that just email me at val@datapunk.net.
What health concerns do you have, i just did this and used livewello
No specific health concern but I would like to know how my body interacts with various drugs/supplements. To see how it’s being absorbed (or not) and which possible interactions/side effects I might experience.
Which DNA test kit did you use?
I used 23andme and livewello, it has been great and telling me why some meds never worked, I’m an ultra-rapid metabolizer and break down certain meds too quickly, making them ineffective. One med I’m on now while waiting for a hospital referral, says I should be on +400% recommended dosage to be effective. My GP won’t up my dose, so I’ll take a printout to the hospital specialist when I go, hoping it will help.
