Why all these genetic testing startups such as #MedGenome which test your DNA to provide 'healthy insights' based on your DNA are a sham! Please don’t waste your money https://t.co/pYM7K78RRA

NRK omtaler diskusjonen om nytteverdien, og ikke minst skepsisen til informasjon om helsemessige forhold man kan få fra "hjemmetesting" av DNA. I 2018 publiserte Nature en artikkel om hvor stor andel falske positiver det kan være i slike tester. Les selv

@Ashley_VanZ @radychildrens The root cause wasn't discussed at the talk, but one reason seems to be that DTCs reliance on SNP genotyping doesn't take into account gross deletion or duplication analyses... At least according to the source: https://t.co/YYQh
