    “People think they are getting the same kind of genetic testing as they would get from a certified clinical laboratory,” said Stephany Tandy-Connor, a genetic counselor. “Nothing could be further from the truth.”https://nyti.ms/2z2KUo9

        Not to mention the laboratories, like facebook, are probably selling the data to other companies.. like insurance companies.. and now people have erroneous pre existing conditions... AND the cost to hcare system of disproving these ridiculous diagnoses.

        Thank you for getting quotes from Promethease founders, and for (eventually) noting that the errors often stem from the DTC raw genotypes, rather then the interpretation tools

        first rule: a dna test that's charged for less than 1000$ can never be a dna test. second rule: every human dna looks the same through a microscope third rule: certifying heritage needs dna of relatives too - lol!!

        Ever since I found out that the vast majority of genetic counselor's are women, who overwhelmingly responded to a study that they would lie to a man if they found out that a child was not biologically his, they have no credibility with me.

        It's better than nothing. False positives at the very least alert people to a potential issue than can be verified later. Check the motivations of people offering these pronouncements
