Based on your experience with the coupon codes is it likely they'll have another one next weekend? I have just over $200 in testing I want done so if I wait I could save a few $$.

Also, apparently, at least one researcher found that the VS snp (rs9527025 which 23andMe doesn't test for) of this pairing is in complete LD with the KL s...
