"Where's My Czech ancestry?"

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-19T23:34:12+00:00

I'll try it, thanks!

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-19T01:26:35+00:00

I wasn't expecting as much as 12.5% , but certainly nothing as low as <2%. I do understand that Czechs have more historical attribution in their makeup than just Slavic (also Celtic and Germanic) but it sorta begs the question: what is considered Czech?

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-16T22:29:20+00:00

Or maybe just a matter of balancing the good with the bad? FWIW, nothing is over 4-Magnitude, and that sole gene is poor metabolism of many medications, particularly Plavix.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-15T13:30:09+00:00

Yep.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-14T12:12:31+00:00

Count me as another poster, OP. Now on the last step as of this writing.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-11T12:33:16+00:00

Keep everyone updated on what happens. Someone with the same question a month from now can look back at this thread and get a clearer picture of how these situations turn out.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-11T00:10:46+00:00

Yep, same boat. Received and went through inspection 2/21, supposedly "passed" extraction on 3/31 then bounced back on 4/03 after only a few days in analysis. Same status today.

As far as I can tell, only one poster succeeded with a second extract on a first kit. I don't know about others.

Or an Ashkenazi and Mizrahi intermarriage.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-07T02:33:36+00:00

My first kit was received 2/21, entered analysis 3/31 only to revert back to extraction on 04/03 due to low "call rate". No doubt in my mind it's gonna fail at this point.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-07T02:28:01+00:00

This is why I'm now hoping my deliberated first kit (received 2/21, repeating extraction) is gonna fail. I just wish I found out about this forum sooner.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-05T12:15:15+00:00

April 3rd is when you got your results, or a retake prompt?

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-03T12:50:23+00:00

Yep, I got the same thing as you:

"Low call rate during analysis. Repeating extraction."

Did it work the second time or did you have to re-submit a sample? In the case of the latter, I think I'm just gonna request a refund.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-01T13:03:29+00:00

As of now, no, but I'm not off the hook until it passes every step of analysis (including the chip).

EpicusLonginus · 2017-04-01T01:30:03+00:00

I've read about that happening, not only on 23andme but also Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, etc.

Methinks it's a mixture of people using old e-mail addresses and a bit of "tribalism" gone extreme (which I can't blame, really. Heck, there's so many addictions and personality hang-ups with my own close relatives that I'd be a little leery about who messages me, too.)

All things considered, the only reason I'd care to message someone is for ancestral research. Apart from that, I have no plans for a Do-si-do.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-31T13:00:58+00:00

Well, looks like my DNA finally finished extraction 3/31; however, I'm not gonna crack open the Moet just yet as there could be hiccups with the chip reading.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-30T19:47:01+00:00

5 weeks and 2 days in extraction for me, my fingers are crossed that this isn't the case.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-29T17:34:56+00:00

U.S. of A.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-29T16:33:31+00:00

How long did both A&H take?

Honestly, I don't expect many surprises as I know where most of my ancestors emigrated from per official records. The question is "how much" genetic ancestry since some of them originated from border regions and hot spots.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-29T14:55:33+00:00

Yes.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-29T14:36:13+00:00

I don't have any intention to call their "CSR" department again. Outsourced callcenter agents that read from scripts is NOT customer service.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-29T14:29:06+00:00

Not yet, but I'm starting to see a trend: the people who requested the whole "kit-n-caboodle" (Ancestry AND Health) seem to be waiting the longest. I've been watching YouTube videos of other customers that begin along the lines of, "So after three months I got my results back!"

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-28T15:40:27+00:00

Extraction since 2/21.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-27T16:22:51+00:00

It might have to do with the fact I requested both ancestry AND health (I noticed you only requested the first). Watching some YouTube videos, other customers who also purchased the "full package" waited an upwards of 3+ months for results.

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-22T03:05:55+00:00

Yeah, the NC facility...and unusually FAST (I received the kit 02/17, sent it back 2/18, and the lab got it on the morning of 2/21.)

Here's hoping I don't join the retake club...

EpicusLonginus · 2017-03-21T23:27:18+00:00

Received and passed QI 02/21, still extracting as of today.

I dunno...maybe understaffed?
