I just went to this site and it is a sales tool. I do not know about the rest of you, but my treatment has been in the hundreds of thousands of dollars.... I do not care to spend even the 99.00 small kit to discuss research

I would like to add that the 23andMe Lymphoma and Leukemia study currently has 10 patients and 193 supporters after two weeks of recruiting. If you are interested in helping us push scientific understanding of this disease forward, please come to https://www.23andme.com/researchre... We are looking for more patients, survivors and supporters until the end of September.
@terriDasilva We do offer you your genetic information as part of participating in research. This is a new model of letting patients and supporters push research forward in an area that they care about. Here is some information: 1) Research Revolution is a continuation of a long string of continued research efforts by 23andMe. We first launched our research program (23andWe, https://www.23andme.com/about/pres... https://www.23andme.com/research/) in May 2008. We have since launched a research program in Parkinson's Disease backed by foundations and members of the scientific community (https://www.23andme.com/pd/, https://www.23andme.com/about/pres...). We have a number of highly qualified scientists, statisticians, and survey designers on staff driving these efforts, in conjunction with our external Scientific and Physician Advisory Boards and other academic partners. We have a paper under review validating our GWAS methodology. 2) We are asking patients to pay to participate because we are providing a service that enables patients to get access to their own genetic data and participate in research at the same time, which is an entirely new model of research. Unfortunately we can not provide this service for free, but if somebody can secure outside funding, we can certainly use it to help offset or reduce the costs to patients. Please let me know if you have any questions. Chia Community Manager at 23andMe
