there"s nothing keeping you from sending it in.
23ANDME will work this out with the FDA. They can store your sample if they think they can't analyze it right now. The FDA has no problem with analyzing your DNA, the problem is how far 23ANDME is going in claiming they can predict the chances of you developing a certain disease. They analyze for much more than PD, breast cancer for example. You can't do much to change your chances of getting PD but for breast cancer you can have your uterus and/or breasts removed, take tamoxin(?), so the way they present their data to customers now has major consequences. Noone cared when they just told you where they think you were born, etc.

Welcome to the biggest issue in healthcare next to OBAMACARE imho.
