For this authorization, 23andMe conducted extensive validation studies for accuracy and user comprehension that met FDA standards.23andMe is now the only company authorized by the FDA to provide personal genetic health risk reports without a prescription. These reports provide individuals with information about genetic variants that could increase their personal risk for certain diseases.

I understand that the information provided in my Promethease report is based on SNPedia.com and that my report is for educational and research purposes only.
I understand that my report is deleted after 45 days but that I can download it before it is deleted and that I can regenerate it, if I create an account.

Ancestry.com uses Illumina OmniExpress Plus, reporting all SNP’s on that chip for $99. Current users will receive data for about ~47,000 of the SNPs in SNPedia. ~25,000 of these are in ClinVar.
23andMe $99 “ancestry only” product, is sufficient for Promethease, or the $199 “ancestry + health” product, which also includes carrier status reports. One time payment, lifetime membership. Both products use the (same) customized Illumina chip which covers 27038 of the 107204 SNPs in SNPedia. Less than 2,000 of these are known to be in ClinVar; presumably some of the proprietarily named “i-SNPs” correspond to ClinVar/SNPedia entries as well but 23andMe does not reveal which publicly or to its non-corporate users.
FamilyTreeDNA Family Finder uses an Illumina OmniExpress for autosomal ancestry testing for $79, including partial raw data download. It covers 13,732 of the SNPs in SNPedia, with ~2,000 of those being known to ClinVar.
- The STR-based Y DNA tests such as the Y37, Y67 and Y111 tests, cannot be used with Promethease as they produce no SNP data.
- The "Big Y" Y DNA test produces SNP data (more than 10,000,000 base pairs) that is accepted by Promethease (only the VCF format results, not the much larger BAM file). The "Big Y" test is only available to those who have already done STR-based Y DNA testing with FamilyTreeDNA.
- Mitochondrial DNA test results (FASTA format) are not accepted by Promethease.
