there is a new thing out on the market, well maybe just a few years old new, called otc dna testing. one company can test your family history back 150,000 years to diseases you could have in your dna. however, after some of the people at the fda sent in their testing swabs they did not come back as expected, "
Five staff members sent two DNA samples to each company; one with his or her real personal and medical information, and one with faux identifying and medical information.Results varied markedly between companies and some information contradicted already diagnosed health conditions. Amongst the small sampling, the tests produced inconsistent results for the same disease 68 percent of the time." - Direct-to-Consumer Genetic Testing Facing Fire by: susan brady
so my question is, how great is all this testing?
