Confusion on results

Post by treman123 »

Just received results 23 and me. It says I have one variant E4.
How do I know if the other one is E2 (very unlikely)
Or E3?

One way is to search (browse) your raw data for these two SnPs (On a computer, login to 23andMe and click your name, then Browse Raw Data - I've not tried on a phone):
rs429358 rs7412

Then use the info here to figure out what you've got.

Another is to upload your raw data file to Promethease and pay whatever their price is today (<$20 US, I think).

Hi treman123! Welcome to the forum!

I'm really glad you found Tincup's information helpful. We also have more information on our Wiki entry If you want to check your ApoE4 status

Enjoy browsing through the forum and all the resources that have been created for the community. The comprehensive Wiki offers a well organized amount of research. I'm continuously browsing and learning so much. I'm also working through understanding my own genetics, it's fascinating stuff. Please keep us posted on what you learn or if you need any other assistance.
