I also replied to the above question, but read your response and figured I'd mention that 23andme does not currently have FDA approval for BRCA1 and BRCA2 full gene analysis, only for the Ashkenazi Jewish founder mutations. A lot of people think they did BRCA testing through 23andme but it wasn't actually comprehensive and more testing may be recommended. Sorry to hear that your wife had difficulty in getting her genetic testing done!

Oh awesome, thanks for the info...I signed up with 23andme really early on and loved it but haven't kept up the last couple years. Thanks for thr kind words, I can only assume things are much easier now to get tested.
