Does FamilySearch have an area to submit your dna data and find matches?

Does Familysearch have a DNA section where people can upload and find relatives? I've looked but don't see anything, maybe I'm missing it. Is there a site anywhere where you can study DNA tests submitted by surname, to find tests that match with yours?

FamilySearch does not have an area to submit DNA data. If you were tested at Ancestry, you can see your DNA matches by clicking "View DNA Matches." You can search for the surname and look for shared matches.

As 'Jenna' has already advised, "FamilySearch" DOES NOT provide specific features to post or link DNA groups based on DNA matches.

Here is a very short "Knowledge Article" in "FamilySearch" on the matter:
