Just don't take 23andMe too seriously. I had markers of being Factor V Leiden[1] but after a blood test it was revealed I didn't have it. It's a data point for sure, but it doesn't immediately mean that your genes will actually express themselves in a way that would manifest the conditions or diseases they are correlated with.
