Are there any restrictions on who can use the 23andMe service?

Asked a year ago
There are a few restrictions on who can use the 23andMe service. Firstly, customers must be at least 18 years of age or have parental consent to order and use the test kit. Additionally, the service is currently available to customers in select countries due to regulatory requirements. This includes customers from the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, select European Union countries, Australia, and New Zealand. Individuals residing in other countries may not be able to use the service as of now. Lastly, individuals who are blood or organ transplant recipients or have received cellular transfusions may not obtain accurate results due to the detection of foreign DNA. Overall, while most individuals can access the service, certain age restrictions, geographical limitations, and specific health conditions may affect eligibility for using the 23andMe service.
