Types of Data that can be managed and tracked
In the Lab Results & Vitals feature, users can track biomarkers such as Resting Heart Rate, Blood Pressure, Triglycerides, and more. Users can also link health data apps and wearables, and track information in the 23andMe mobile app.
As part of the new Lab Results & Vitals feature, eligible 23andMe+ members can order from a panel of clinician ordered blood tests and complete these tests at a nearby Quest Diagnostics(R) location. Lab test results & clinical analysis will be available in the Lab Results & Vitals feature.
Eligible users can use this feature to access and manage their results from a variety of sources. For example, users will be able to manually input biomarkers from their doctor’s office and link results measured through health and fitness tracking apps that can be connected to a 23andMe account through the mobile app.
Prostate Cancer Screening Test
Is this test right for me?
The American Cancer Society(R) (ACS) and other medical societies recommend men to have a discussion with their healthcare provider as to whether prostate cancer screening is right for them. For those who decide to get prostate cancer screening, the PSA test is the recommended test. Men in the following categories should consider screening according to the ACS. All screening results should be discussed with a healthcare provider:
- Men age 50 and above with average risk of prostate cancer and no health conditions that may limit life expectancy
- Men age 45 and above at increased risk of prostate cancer. This includes men of African-American ancestry and men with a first degree relative (father or brother) with prostate cancer diagnosed at an early age (younger than 65).
- Men age 40 and above at even higher risk (more than one first degree relative with prostate cancer at a young age or a hereditary condition that increases risk of prostate cancer like BRCA1, BRCA2, etc.)
What's tested?
The PSA test measures the level of prostate-specific antigen. PSA can be elevated due to prostate cancer, inflammation of the prostate (prostatitis), or benign prostatic hypertrophy (BPH) among other conditions. Any elevation in PSA should be discussed with your healthcare provider.
Celiac Disease Test
Is this test right for me?
This test may be right for you if you experience abdominal symptoms of gas, bloating, diarrhea, or abdominal pain or if you have a positive Celiac disease report. If you are on a gluten-free diet, consult with your healthcare provider before getting this test.
What's tested?
The Celiac Disease panel tests for celiac antibodies - transglutaminate IgA (tTG IgA) and Immunoglobulin A (IgA). These antibodies can be present in individuals with Celiac disease when they ingest gluten-containing foods such as wheat, rye, and barley. If you are already on a gluten-free diet, your result may not be accurate and this test would not be right for you.
Ovarian Reserve Test
Is this test right for me?
This test may be right for you if you:
- Are facing fertility issues or considering in-vitro fertilization
- Want to understand how many eggs you may have left in your ovaries
- Are considering getting pregnant
- Have symptoms of polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS)
- Have concerns about premature menopause, are planning to undergo chemotherapy, or surgery on your ovaries and want to understand how this may affect your egg supply.
What's tested?
Anti-Mullerian Hormone (AMH) is a hormone produced by the ovaries in the female reproductive system. The AMH test can help understand ovarian reserve - the number of eggs left in an individual’s ovaries. Hormone therapy or hormonal birth control can lower the AMH level, causing a woman's egg supply to appear lower than it actually is. Consult with a healthcare provider if you have concerns about your AMH level or your fertility.
