Don't worry, they're still collecting data. They opened phase 2 of the study on 2nd March 2016. Really glad you're interested in contributing to this. So many of us want to participate in research but don't have the opportunity, so this is perfect for us! I got my results back yesterday, took approximately 2+1/2 months from 23andme. I'll add the link to my original post.

I applied to take part in this a week ago but have had no reply. I guess they have all the volunteers they need.

[TheLadyOfShalott in reply to ME65]

They've just opened phase 2 and have likely received a lot of requests lately. It took a while to hear back from them when I applied so just hang on in there! My results from 23andme took 10 weeks so it might be an idea to go ahead and carry out the test in the meantime, as 10 weeks felt like a lonnng time when you're anxious to hurry with the data!

I have tried, but the emails they send me won't open when I go to the secure site. So I have not been able to do anything. Not sure if the issue is due to using an IPad?

[TheLadyOfShalott in reply to Cruzgirl]

Oh, this is frustrating! I did it all on my tablet (Android) and fortunately haven't had any problems using any of their links etc. I don't know what to suggest...

[Cruzgirl in reply to TheLadyOfShalott]

I will try and see if Dr Klimas has a facebook and ask there.

[Cruzgirl in reply to Cruzgirl]

I had the same issue. Could not open up any of the links from my IPad. I have my results from 23 and ME. I am ready to send.
