Members of 23andme have been asked for 50 dollars to be allowed to see whether they are more susceptible to Alzheimer's Disease. It's not that simple, but that's the result. They ran the initial analysis with a certain "chip" (no one ever indicates what that is of what equipment it's carried or operated in). Now they have a new "chip" and you have to pay $50 again to have them use that on your sample, PLUS NINE DOLLARS A MONTH. They have less than half the PwP they were hoping for but it looks strange to me to have to pay again to be informed. Of course they have all those samples now.

I just don't get it. They are such nice people. There must be something I'm missing.
