HelloI did post this some time ago which is the best Dio1 gene test available atm as I read quite a few companies have removed it, is 23andme or MTHR genetics better?

hi, I didn't know that these were available, we need testing for this and it's taking years, if I could get it done differently it could change my family's lives, we all have an absorption problem and we fight for meds.

The Blue Horizon Thyroid Blue Genetic test looks at DIO1 and DIO2 along with other relevant genes. Thyroid UK members can use the discount code to get 30% off . I had this test done recently as the 23andMe DNA test I had done a couple of years ago only genotypes certain genes. They do DIO1 but not DIO2. The Blue Horizon one covered all the genes 23andMe didn't.

Hi,I've had Dio2 done, I thought they only look at Dio1 and Dio2? Or are there variants from them?

You can see all the genes tested and my results in the replies to the post in this link:

There was money off the test originally and with the 30% off I only paid £94 for it. Hope this helps.

Having trouble navigating to the code? I've had Dio2 test only really need Dio1 so that's why I asked if 23andme still done Dio1 as I could not find details on their website

I got my DNA tested by 23andMe a couple of years ago and had 5 different DIO1 SNPs typed. Don't know if they still genotype them or not
