Andrew String says he ordered a 23andMe kit because there was a sale going on and he just wanted to look at his genealogy to find out if there was any health risks in his family.  He found out he had a deficiency of Factor II in his blood, which could lead to clotting. A week after he got his results his father collapsed due to blood clots in his lungs and heart. 

 

Doctors thought at first it was a lasting effect of Covid until Andrew remembered his test result. So they immediately changed the course of treatment and his dad is now recovering after being on life-support! Andrew has shared the results with the rest of the family, many of whom have ordered their own test kits.
