Some of the DNA testing places will give the raw data and SNPs for methylation, but do not explain its meaning to the owner.

This is because the FDA was pressured by doctors, and put restrictions on the medical "interpretation" of results.

Some of our PN posters easily found internet explanations for the various mutations, that were included in their printouts.

This is a very important mutation because doctors continue to ignore it. When it first was published about 10 yrs ago, it was suggested to be uncommon at about 10%. Now some researchers and specialist doctors are suggesting that perhaps some populations go as high as 50%.

As far as your dollar value and worth for the results, the DNA methylation is far more valuable IMO than your
ancestry.

Some people do not think Ancestry DNA tests are that accurate:
This is only one example comment, but there are more online:
