Meanwhile all the real issues that arose from ubiquitous DNA data, like accidentally doxing your criminal relatives with your own 23andMe data, were never imagined.
It's a condemnation of the precautionary principle.

One thing to avoid, though: Do not say you are "7% Scottish" or whatever your 23andMe might have said. In all of Europe, "I am <nationality>" means "I hold that passport". Otherwise, by all means say where your great-grandma came from, but to us, you are just "American", which is fine in itself.

Dana-Farber researchers in collaboration with 23andMe identified a rare genetic risk factor for lung cancer in people who have never smoked. The findings could help shape future screening strategies for people who carry the EGFR mutation. Read more in the @nytimes.com.
This Rare Gene Drastically Raises Lung Cancer Risk in People Who Never Smoked
The gene is found predominantly in Southern Appalachia and may be one of the most powerful cancer-risk mutations ever found.

Have you done 23andme or ancestry DNA or genomic sequencing? If so, I can tell you how to search for a few mutations in C3 and CFH. There are likely other immune system mutations that are also relevant.

Some may call me low brow but it's not my fault because 23andMe says I’m more Neanderthal than 87% of the population.

While it has been lovely getting to learn more about my largely African ancestry through 23andme, it is also a very disconcerting experience being on that platform. Every other day I gain a new connection, almost always someone white. And you just know the relation is due to an uncomfortable fact.

This is my 23andMe as a person with a white British mom and a Black British dad who’s parents came from Jamaica
I’m 58% European with 14.7% British & Irish
The plot twist is most of my British and Irish ancestry came from… MY BLACK DAD!
Yep, he’s more ethnically British and Irish than my mom!

AncestryDNA is always on sale, often as low as $39, and they have the largest database of users. The other big companies are FamilyTreeDNA, 23andme, and MyHeritage.

Database Sizes—March 2026
This update has been updated. It's been a minute since we've had an update to the database growth chart. At RootsTech last week, I was able to get some new numbers to share, particularly from AncestryDNA and 23andMe. The AncestryDNA database will be at 30 million DNA kits any day now. It is larger than all of the other genealogical DNA databases combined. If you are in an English-speaking country, this is the place to start your DNA journey! 23andMe dropped from about 15 million in October 2024 to a little under 14 million due to a credential stuffing attack and consequent bankruptcy. 23andMe has since been acquired by a nonprofit public benefit corporation and continues to offer both genealogical, health, and scientific research services. Approximately 11.1 million users participate in relative matching, and about 8.8 million of those are opted into segment matching via the chromosome browser. MyHeritage updates their numbers regularly on their About page, so it's easy to keep tabs on their growth. When we consider only kits that are available for genealogical matching, MyHeritage is a close third behind 23andMe, with 9.6 million kits. MyHeritage is probably your best bet if you live in continental Europe. FamilyTreeDNA reports that their autosomal DNA database (called Family Finder) is just under 1.8 million. This number includes only the Family Finder database. FamilyTreeDNA also offers Y-DNA and mitochondrial DNA kits. I'm still waiting on updated numbers from GEDmatch. Based on prior growth rates, I project that they're at about 2.2 million. I will update the graph (and this post) when I am able. All of the companies—with the exception of 23andMe, as noted above—are showing remarkably steady growth, so much so that I am able to extrapolate from prior reports to predict the current databases sizes fairly accurately. AncestryDNA outpaced my prediction by about 4%, MyHeritage undershot the mark by about 7%, and FamilyTreeDNA was almost spot on, less than half a percent off from my prediction. This is good news! Gone are the heady days of 2017–2018, when every company was outperforming its prior sales. However, the market has clearly adjusted to the disruption and has not yet reached a saturation point. Updates to This Post 16 March 2026 — Added the current database size for FamilyTreeDNA and a comment about steady growth.

I learned I had Celiac at 60 from a 23andMe genetic test, which told me I had the markers. I didn’t even know what Celiac was. When I checked the symptoms, it was so obvious. That was after seven years taking Metamucil because my GP wrote it off as “digestion issues.” So much damage - frustrating

New research conducted by investigators at Dana-Farber and 23andMe Research Institute shows a rare inherited mutation in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene is associated with a 25-fold increased risk of lung cancer.
Rare inherited EGFR mutation linked to dramatically increased lung cancer risk | Dana-Farber Cancer Institute
A rare inherited mutation in the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor (EGFR) gene is associated with a 25-fold increased risk of lung cancer, according to a study by investigators at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute and 23andMe Research Institute. The findings included de-identified, aggregated genetic data from more than 3.3 million 23andMe research-consented participants.

I got my tests results back from 23andMe! There weren't a whole lot of surprises in terms of the very large portions of my DNA, the only surprises were areas that were individually less than 7% of my DNA.
