Thanks for that information. There seem to be competing claims <The most comprehensive genetic health scan availableThe total number of SNPs or genetic variants analyzed is the key to scientific accuracy. In analyzing nearly twice as many SNPs as any of its competitors, the deCODEme Complete Scan is by far the most comprehensive genetic health scan available today. > It looks as though genomics is progressing as quickly as the Cyberphone revolution. What looks like a good company at one time soon fades from favour.

I have already got a big list of my genetic risks from the 23andMe test I had done a couple of years ago. I seem to not have any to speak of other than the usual vicious rumour about human mortality sooner or later. My lifestyle and present medical condition suggest I should go on to about 110 years which is quite a deadline for nearly all humans, with those making it to 110 not getting past 111. There have been not many people get past 111 with 1 getting to 122 being a French woman. en.wikipedia.org

It would be a bit odd to have a 105 year old say, "I'm just going to visit Mum". People would think they meant visit at a cemetery, not an actual living person. An 87 year old could reasonable say, I'm going to visit my grandmother. Heck, a 70 year old could say "I'm just popping around to see my great grandmother on her birthday". [Assuming they have babies at age 17 which is quite reasonable for a woman].

I wonder what the record has been for great great great great .... grandmother has been. How many greats?
