Can SNP genotyping (aka 23andme) be done on a sample taken while you have a cold?

Asked by timtrueman (5765points) May 5th, 2010

I’m not enough of a geneticist to know if Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism genotyping is affected by sickness—I’m worried that since it uses saliva as the sample that it could null and void my 23andme kit. Should I wait or does it not matter?
