not just DTC genomics, but all medical genetics. Putting an FH test next to one for wine cheapens legitimately actionable genetic tests
The Helix AppStore - "Where pseudoscience meets bogus apps". It's all downhill for DTC genomics if this continues

Agreed. That's the main issue here - so much promise for medical genetics going forward, but will get obscured by bs if we're not careful.

I disagree. Nothing quick on my part - I have followed this space closely. The rush is on the side of releasing the 'AppStore' prematurely.

Misrepresenting science and diluting an incredibly important (future) market will not achieve that. We need facts and science - not hype.

Heard the head of KPMG China say just the same thing -> both of you guys think alike ;-)

Lack of scientific evidence baked in with hyped claims muddling genomics-based medical research has that effect on me. Sorry.

+1 (spending lots of time in Asia, including China). Will i get to own my data?...

Starting with premature apps is premature - you dilute your model. Why not wait for strong apps from strong science/developers? Like Mayo?

As a Mayo-educated DNA app developer, I can assure you we've been around for a long time but the press hardly notices. Many apps out there

Nothing wrong with what Helix has to offer. However not offering a medical advice devalues the service.

I disagree. There's everything wrong with the current offering. Diluting the market of useful science-based tests and confusing customers.
