I reached out to their team and below is Emily's update....best, Debi
My name is Emily Drabant, and I manage the Parkinson's Research Community at 23andMe. We are very grateful to the many people with Parkinson's (now 5,000 and counting!) that have joined the community. We are offering free upgrades to our latest gene chip (v3) for any member of the PD community that biobanked their original sample. There is no subscription requirement. Membership in the PD Research Community includes a free lifetime account - a subscription fee will never be required.
Also, it is not necessary to upgrade to the v3 platform to continue to participate in the Parkinson's Research Community.
To get a free upgrade, please email
pd-help@23andme.com and request a discount code.
You can check out the discoveries you helped make possible by visiting
