The information that we report is all publicly available from places like Pubmed ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/ ) and ClinVar ( http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/clinvar/ )

It's conceivable that that one could look at each of the 600,000 lines in 23andMe's raw data and find these research reports individually.

We simplify that process and make the connections to research reports for you. Then, wrap it up in a nice package where you can compare your family member's data, get information on genes, generate PDF reports, etc.

Unless the FDA wants to shut down public access to scientific knowledge, then we don't expect to hear from the FDA. Others have been operating in this space for several years.
