Hello Cynthia,
Thank
you for your interest in 23andMe. 23andMe continuously reviews the
literature for new genetic associations and keeps existing customers up
to date on new findings. Unfortunately, at this time Androgen Resistance
and Insensitivity is not a topic addressed by our Health reports. We
cannot predict which topics will be covered in the future, but will make
additional information available to our customers as long as the SNPs
related to the genetic associations for the traits and conditions in
question are included on the DNA chip used to process your saliva
sample. Under these circumstances our existing customers will not need
to undergo additional testing or need to provide new saliva samples.
Our
analysis technology generally cannot detect intersex conditions. There
are rare instances when our quality control processes reveal abnormal
sex chromosome conditions, but again, the technology isn't designed to
detect all instances. If you are interested in determining if you have
any chromosomal abnormalities, please contact a physician to request a
karyotype analysis.
While many of our current and planned Health
articles deal with medical issues, it is important to remember that the
feature is neither a diagnostic tool nor a substitute for a physician's
advice. To view a complete list of the diseases and conditions analyzed
by the 23andMe service, visit the following link. This list grows
every month as new research is published. https://www.23andme.com/health/all/
One
final thought--the desire to understand the cause or origin of your
condition is in no way narcissistic. Wondering how/why your body was
created does not need to be justified or explained to anyone, whether it
helps you in therapy or not. I encourage you not to feel ridiculous,
embarrassed, or insecure about wanting a genetic analysis done.
