Not yet, but 23andMe is still working on getting more tests approved. It'll take some time, but at least they're making progress, and the FDA isn't totally shutting them out.

If the FDA took two years to make up standards for things that people have been doing without doctor involvement for decades, how long will it take for them to make up standards for 23andMe to be an over-the-counter competitor to Myriad? for 23andMe to do completely new things? a decade? five?
