I liked that joke as well UNTIL
23 and Me cannot tell you if you have Downs Syndrome.

23andMe is not designed to analyze for repeated, inserted, inverted, translocated or deleted segments of DNA. In most cases we cannot provide information about copy number or other genetic features that are related to the number or order of base pairs present. The 23andMe service cannot address:
Trisomies (for example trisomy 21 also known as Down syndrome) and copy number variations
Trinucleotide repeat disorders (for example Fragile X, Huntington’s disease)
Repeats, insertions, rearrangements or deletions
Well now what the hell. You spend the money for the test and only find out the percentages of your Mutt mixture.
