Meanwhile, there are other sources such as Promethease to use as an alternative. <br /><br />http://genealogy.fanucci.us/blogGeoFan49https://www.blogger.com/profile/04945274364008629281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-20883829550265357992014-09-30T03:05:51.939+01:002014-09-30T03:05:51.939+01:0023andMe are working with the FDA to get regulatory...23andMe are working with the FDA to get regulatory approval. See this blog post:<br /><br /><a href="http://blog.23andme.com/news/update-on-the-regulatory-review-process-with-the-fda/" rel="nofollow">http://blog.23andme.com/news/update-on-the-regulatory-review-process-with-the-fda/</a><br /><br />However, I suspect it will be a slow process.<br /><br />I believe that 23andMe are looking into setting up shop somewhere in Europe. That would certainly help to bring down the cost of the test. At the moment it costs almost as much to send the kits by Fedex to Europe as it does to buy the test itself.Debbie Kennetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11573470282571579765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7238849140976286627.post-26801582052488355732014-09-29T09:21:15.416+01:002014-09-29T09:21:15.416+01:00They probably stepped on big pharma's toes so ...They probably stepped on big pharma's toes so the big pharma had the FDA shut it down.

I have type II diabetes and I want to know what else I could possibly pass on to my kids. Now I'll never know thanks to the fascists at the FDA. Did 23andme not pay the FDA tax? What's really going on here?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
