Roberta and Anne...

Santa indeed is reading this list
and anxious to have this SNP test.

Where does he sign up and how much ?

Any idea how long it takes to get results?

imagine there are some people on this list who are ordering the test right
away?


I created an account because I didn't see any other way to find out how
much they were charging for this service. The promotional price fits into
the definition of the "The $1000 genome" -- which makes me a tad suspicious,
since the test is described as a "Genetic Scan of your entire genome." I
was under the impression that such pricing for such a product was not yet
technically available. I even read the Illumina presentation posted on
this list awhile back and had the distinct impression they were still
talking about 100X that amount. Has there been some breakthrough that I'm
not aware of? Or is this perhaps a way to get people to pay for being
guinea pigs for their test equipment and processes?

I will note that it said that at this point PayPal is required. I didn't
see anything about using a credit card.

Either way, if Santa is reading the list, this has moved to the top of my
list, if only because I am simply too darned curious not to have it done,
just to see what it gets me! And, Santa, I don't live in one of the states
where the genetic risk stuff is prohibited. If Santa isn't so moved, well
maybe I'll win the lottery and be able to afford this ;)
