Default which genes are being tested, anyone know?

It is not clear to us which, exactly, genes are being tested in the 23andme 10,000 sign-up deal. What I have read so far has indicated that they may only be testing for one, tiny mutation, while there are MANY that have been implicated in PD. IF so, that would explain why more people have not signed up. If you are going to get sequenced, might as well be for all the known and suspected rogue genes. We signed up on MJF's site last week, and are waiting for the next step.

Anybody know about this? Thanks.
