I ordered a genetics testing kit from 23andMe about two months ago. I got it, submitted my saliva sample and hoped to the genetic testing gods that I would get my results by this time. And of course I just got an email from them the other day letting me know that I failed my DNA sample test kit. They sent me another one and here we are doing this again but this time, let’s do this right.
I’ll be doing a follow up video once I get the results back in two months.
*This video is not sponsored or paid for by 23andMe. I damn well paid for my kit out of my own pocket.

BECAUSE YOU ARE A CLONE MUWAHHAHA
Spitters are quiters
This IS a rarity. I know alot of people that have done DNA tests and never heard of "no results"
Failed mine twice,also. Their first explanation was very technical and went over my head (I'm not a Bioscientist). Not sure what "not enough usable DNA" means. Aren't we all human? They offered a refund,however,the "REFUND" button doesn't work! Very disappointed!
Mine failed, i hope its not because I didnt answer their questionnaire, which would suggest they are scammers lol. I mean why ask what my ethnicity is before my DNA is analyzed?
My Ancestry DNA test failed, too– mine was sent in late March-early April and I got the failure notice on May 3. I'm trying again, the test is at the lab, "processing" began on May 23. Fingers crossed!
Same thing happened to me with ancestry. Waiting for my 2nd kit. I’m thinking someone messed up in the lab. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Just so you know try to rub the inside of your cheeks against your teeth before spitting: this will greatly increase the amount of DNA in the saliva.
I failed twice from 23 and Me…and failed twice with Ancestry.
Don't let your dog chew the kit.
My wife's first DNA test with 23andMe didn't work and now we are waiting to see if her second sample will actually pass. I was lucky I guess because mine worked the first time around.
People with Sjogrens don't have much saliva to donate. It was very hard to do and prefer the cheek swab method of collection. I did scrape my gums with my teeth in hopes that DNA would be given in the sample. I hoped it worked because it would be so disappointing to have it rejected due to not enough DNA to read.
Hi what is the promo code?
great video…keep it going
My son failed twice! Now they are just offering a refund.
They're extracting my saliva again. I think their machine is just not reliable. Because almost everyone in our batch failed.
My 23andme DNA test failed also. They are sending a replacement kit. They do mention at their website that some people just don't have high enough concentrations of DNA in their saliva for testing purposes. I'll give it another shot before requesting a refund.
Hi! Did you ever end up making a video on your results??
Have you received the results? Or not yet? I also have received and email saying that my example didn’t have DNA enough :/
😀
