--------- FTDNA Message Start:

BATCH: #174 - Update: 12-December-2006

The lab has been delayed because of problems with the other marker panels.
We apologize for the delay and expect results to be returned around this
date. If they are delayed pass this date, we will update the status.

Y-Refine37to67(Y-DNA38-47 Markers) Due 01/05/2007
Y-Refine37to67(Y-DNA48-60 Markers) Due 12/31/2006
Y-Refine37to67(Y-DNA61-67 Markers) Due 11/27/2006

reactions have been producing results that do not pass our quality control
standards. Unfortunately these reactions contain large numbers of
components, and while we are usually able to correct these problems within 7
to 12 days the
