Can I use my 23andMe kit for multiple family members?

Asked 2 years ago
23andMe kits are designed for individual use and should only be used by one person per kit. Each kit contains unique identification information tied specifically to the person who provided their saliva sample. As a result, if multiple family members are interested in obtaining genetic insights, each individual will need to purchase and use their own kit. This ensures that the results are accurate and reflect only the genetic information of the individual who submitted the sample. Additionally, individual kits allow for personalized reports and insights tailored to that person's genetic data. If family members would like to share their results or explore genetic connections, they can consider using the family sharing feature available through the 23andMe platform once they have their own results. For more detailed information, it may be helpful to visit the website directly.
