I didn't see this anywhere in my results? Is there any way I can procure this information based on the data gathered by 23andme?

What the hell? I thought that 23and Me and its analogs provided all the interesting SNPs. I would expect to not get a Huntington's diagnosis, or similar things like that, but APOE would be good to know about. Maybe the conventional wisdom is that APOE is a slow-motion death sentence and there's nothing you can do about it? (btw, the thread you linked needs a login.)It seems that you can approximate your variant, however it is best to get another $500 test through another lab as 23andme doesn't provide APOE results.

23andme basically said that accuracy is an issue with APOE results. There are only a few labs doing reliable APOE genotyping, and it is pretty expensive ($500 w/o insurance).What the hell?
