I Took The 23andMe DNA Test & Found Out Some Shocking Details About My Health & Ancestry

Narcity USA's Fernanda Leon took the 23andMe DNA test to find out information about her ancestry and health insights. Although she wasn't looking for any specific details and was just curious about the analysis, the results were shocking -- in a good way -- especially the health-related ones.

I'm glad you showed your DNA matches, since that is the most powerful part of DNA testing. (But you should have blurred their names to protect their privacy.) You'll need to create a family tree to figure out where they fit with you.
The ethnicity estimates were originally intended to tell where your ancestors lived 500 to 1000 years ago, before intercontinental travel. Since there are no living people that old, each of the DNA companies create reference panels based on living users who claim that all four grandparents were born in a specific location. Then they compare your DNA with the reference panels and indicate if your DNA is similar to theirs. They update the reference panels and the ethnicities and geographic areas from time to time, so your estimates will change. The estimates are given in a range. On 23andMe, you can change the confidence level from 50% and move it up or down to see how the estimates change.
Country borders are political, not ethnic. Nationality is not the same as ethnicity.
I enjoyed your video. Good presentation.

Awesome Results. My results were surprising on the European side. I am 65% Native American. 40% Mexican, 20%Peruvian and 5%Colombian
I am 35% European. 10% Italian, 8% Bulgarian, 7% German, 7%Spanish and 3% Swedish.

I’ve done a box. But I’m still 50/50. It tells me I’m 100% Vietnamese but shows a bunch of Filipinos and Chinese folks as as family . But those folks shows as non Vietnamese. 23 and me claims we have a similar gene that’s why I was categorized as family as those folks

I found my DNA Raw results are very confusing. I looked up many possible ilnesses I show constant G/G Enzyme results in health & ancestry & they never give anything in their results. I have alone in ALDOB 5 genes passed on from each parent on G/G's for hereditary fructose intolerance

Do not know how to report to my Doctor the results are in many conditions even in 3 Immune deficiencies from SCID, PIDD, CVID? I spent a lot of time doing one gene at a time

It's funny that she just skips over her African roots lol

I’m near eagle pass so I’m close to you. I would do this test to find out who my biological father is, but everyone I see do the test can only find out about their cousins. Can I get some help what to do??

[pugbeaglelover]

What would you recommend for someone who doesn't know anything about their biological family?
I'm pretty sure I was kidnapped

i took 2 reports becasue i was unsur eof the first one it didnt show my Native Dna...i kind fo understand why now after looking online..the test to me seemed very vague so i did the ancestry one and that was even more vague...both cam out somewhat the same..mostly ukrainian, french and german and they say sometimes or the one test guy said that the spanish the native falls into that category..so thats a very vague category...i dont see what spain has to do wiht Native..i mean am i spanish or native? form wha ti hear americans didnt have records of natives way back then thats why they dont show up on tests like this ..but the guy told me the spanish is native so idk i guess but i have a bucnh of other stuff too.

You did not go to much into your results

[gerryadams]

You get my Ashkenazi Jew dna in you from Spanish conquistadors. My dads full Ashkenazi Jew

[mariissa-zfty]

I heard people find out there dad is not their dad from 23 and me where the hell can you see this with this test while you dont have the dna of the other person ?!!

[zeptepiBC]

Did not make any reference to your African DNA … Odd that the Indigenous (Aztec/Mayan) whom are the concurred ancestors always come as a surprise, as though the delusion is that they are unmixed “Spaniards”

She’s not kidding. The whole boring thing.
