The Bloom syndrome approval is only a carrier status. That is, it will tell you if you are at risk of having a child with the disease, not whether you have the disease itself. For the foreseeable future, the only health information that 23andMe will return is carrier screening for autosomal recessive diseases. That means no BRCA mutations, no Huntington's disease, no pharmacogenetics (tells you if you metabolize a drug more or less efficiently), basically nothing that can be used to diagnose or treat a disease in the person getting the test.
