Here in "progressive" Maryland, outfits like 23andme and other direct-to-consumer medical testing companies can't even take orders from the state. There are ways around it of course, but that just goes to show you what happens when you live in a state with a powerful medical lobby.
I've taken the 23andme test by the way and found it very enlightening. It hasn't helped with my SFN to date, but I continue to dig.

23andme was making doctors embarrassed since they could not
interpret the results often for their patients!
Maybe in another 10 yrs doctors will catch up?
