Has anyone done it? Does it work? Asked by Awesome! - Wed May 13 23:15:46 2009 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I recommend NO. These direct to consumer genetic tests do more harm than good. They are like those whole body scans being directed to consumers: pointless, unlikely to reveal valuable information, and possibly create emotional or psychological problems with ambiguous or misunderstood results. Genetic testing is not 100%. Just because you have a certain gene does not mean you will necessarily display a certain phenotype, or just because you DON'T have a gene, that doesn't mean you WON'T display it (as in the case of cancer). Many genes are over simplified (like only testing ONE of the 1,000+ cystic fibrosis mutations), or not understood fully. Also, many involve more than 1 gene as well as environmental factors (like the "sports gene") [cont.] Answered by fendergrl97 - Wed May 13 23:33:30 2009 Anyone else see this on Oprah? 23andme.com Invention of the YEAR!? Q. www.23andme.com was Time Magazines invention of the year. I found it pretty interesting and thought I'd share the site with anyone who may be as bored as I am? lol - its this kit you gather your DNA into and then they analyze it and can give you a lengthy history about tons of things like diseases, eye color, personal traits- really neat for any sci-buff mom to be's out there :) And hey, if Oprah recommended it, must be good? lol https://www.23andme.com/, also shows ancestry, health & traits, community, research options... pretty neat.

Q. The retail DNA Test is available for $399. How many of you will attempt it? Is it a futuristic nightmare? Or, you will be resigned to the fact, "oh well... whatever will be .. will be". What if, you have a 50% of getting Cancer? 90% chance of Parkinsons? What if you are prone to other forms of mutations in your body? Do you or Don't you want to find out about it before hand? What are the repurcursions? Sleepless nights or restful sleep after the results are out? Which is it? The site visit to scared me. What about you? What if - 1.

Well, you certainly don't have to go for it. Ethicists haven't really decided that it is appropriate for people to know about genes for conditions they can't prevent, like Parkinsons. Also, just because you have a genetic predisposition for a disease doesn't mean you will get it. Epigenetics is turning out to be very important, yet DNA tests like this can't show whether a gene is turned on or off. It does seem a bit excessive. Why do you need to know what your genes are for eye color, alcoholic flush, and lactose intolerance? To answer your further questions, I'm not sure this is more useful than a family history, in regards to knowing what diseases to try to prevent. It shouldn't affect your choice to get health insurance, which covers… [cont.] Answered by jellybeanchick - Sun Nov 9 15:29:28 2008 From Yahoo Answer Search: "23andme" |
