[https://www.23andme.com/ 23andme] is a direct-to-consumer [[Gene expression|genetic]] testing service.<ref>{{Cite web | url = http://www.23andme.com | title = DNA Genetic Testing & Analysis - 23andMe | last = 23andMe | website = 23AndMe|language=en-us | access-date = 2018-11-21}}</ref> Consumers buy a kit, provide a saliva sample, ship it to the company, and they then provide online access to important (but very small) portions of the person's genetic data and limited interpretations based on the genetic profile. Their web site explains [https://www.23andme.com/howitworks/ how it works]. ==Testing for Methylation Defects== Some have hypothesized ([[Methylation cycle hypothesis]]) that the [[Methylation cycle]] may be defective due to genetic effects in some ME/CFS patients, particularly related to the [[MTHFR]] gene. ==Data for Researchers== It is possible for ME/CFS researchers to use the genetic data patients have acquired themselves, for research. For example the [[Institute for Neuro Immune Medicine]]'s [[Nancy Klimas]] asked patients to provide their 23andMe data for their [[ME/CFS Gene Study|ME/CFS gene study]].<ref>[http://www.nova.edu/nim/research/mecfs-genes.html INIM ME/CFS Genes Study]</ref> ==Online presence== *[https://www.23andme.com/ 23andme USA/global] *[https://www.23andme.co.uk/ 23andme UK] == See also == [[Category:Citizen science]] * [[ME/CFS Gene Study]] * [[:Category:Biobanks & patient registries|Biobanks and patient registries]] (category) * [[Ancestry DNA]] ==References== {{Reflist}}
