Question 1

why is this info different from all the other genetic tests ive taken?

Accepted Answer

This test actually looks at 25,000 drug interactions with supplements, it gives you over 400 recipes for food that is matched to your allergies, genetics and goals. I put myself, my daughter and my mother on this platform because I was tired of changing doctors and getting random medication recommendations which were at best guess work. The reality is that unless you have a very clear well diagnosed disease, the average primary doctor can not help you with general nutritional issues, allergies and immune system reaction. You have to redesign how you eat and pay a lot of attention to your body. This is the only platform that I have found in which you can ask any questions you want from the staff members and they dig up the science article that is relevant to your genetics, allergies and medication and explain to you clearly what do with your diet and supplements and fitness routines to help your body fight it.

Honestly the other genetic test which I also took were mostly toys. Ancestry is great at telling you if you are 23.7% Irish which is very exciting for a day but did not help me deal with my daughters Eczema. every time, she went swimming, her skin would break out and she will hate it. So many doctors gave her very medication creams which had strong hormones or steroids. I put her on Vitagene supplements and after 90 days she has no sign of Eczema. I have shown this to all my friends, her body is just healthier and stronger to deal with the impact of the pool chemicals on her skin.

Question 2

How much snp overlap with 23andme and ancestry? if i buy the vitagene test, do i still have to pay more to upload 23andme and ancestry data to it?

Accepted Answer

All 3 companies test approximately 700k SNPs.  There is a large overlap between all 3 tests as they use a similar backend system but the overlap is not 100%.

Question 3

Does this test tell you if you have mthfr mutation? Can you take the raw data and plug it into a site such as genetic gene to get methylation info?

Accepted Answer

I really do recommend ancestryDNA because you can get your health report from other databases with your raw dna as well as use GEDmatch to compare and analyze chtomosomes and find others who have uploaded their raw data into gedmatch who may be using other sites like 23andme and family tree.  I found my dads half sister in 6 days after receiving my report and i didnt even know dad had a half sibling. He was adopted along with his other 3 siblings when he was little. All siblings were seperated and dad only found 1 of them. But i was able to find one he didnt even know existed. His half sister didnt even jnow sge had 4 other siblings until a couple years ago whej he dad told her, her and dad share the same mothet though. But the thing about thw mother is nobody knows if she is dead or not. It is assumed she died by word of mouth back in 1962 but there is zero paper trail, not even a census.

Anyway, acestry is good, or 23andme or family finder (family tree) since all give raw data that can be used on promethease for your health report and gedmatch for chromosome comparisons and finding others who ysed a different kit than you did.

Oh and from gedmatch i ran my dna with my aunts. Her and mom are fraternal twins. Mom didnt do a test but me and my aunt did ours at the same time. My dna is a complete half match to my aunt. Technically we should only match 25%, not 50%. Also it was weird that AncestryDNA says we are related by parent/sibling. I found out that her and mom are not fraternal. They are whats called di/di identical twins. They started out as 1 egg and 1 sperm, but split very early between 1 and 3 days after fertilization so they were able to grow their own placentas rather than share 1 like standard identicle twins. Didi identical twins are impossoble to confirm without a dna test but since my half of the dna that comes from my mothers side matches with my aunts, the only explination is they are actually identicle di/di twins. This also means that if my cousins and i were to run our dna with each other it would make them look like my half sisters rather than cousins. Im having a lot of fun with this dna stuff. But most sites that accept raw dna only accept the top 3 major brands. Gedmatch accepts anyone who can use raw data but promethease.com only accepts ancestry, 23andme and family tree. I used some other sites but those 2 for the raw data seem to be the ones i play with the most.

Question 4

Do you have to answer a  bunch of questions as well?  Or do you just send the sample?

Accepted Answer

No I registered my kit and sent my DNA in and answered about 10 questions.
