I can’t remember the editorial board of a major newspaper ever cautioning the general public about a direct to consumer genetic test. Today, the @NYTimes did. nytimes.com/interactive/2019… #BRCA

Genetic Counselors do the profession a disservice by being so negative about DTC genetic testing. It is not perfect but will get better. It will not replace you but if you continue being negative, people who need you will not seek you out.

Another way to put @drjohnm concerns:
A test can be perfect (99% sensitive/99% specific)
But if test applied to population where prevalence condition low (eg a fib in ppl buying watches)
then, most positive tests will be *false* positive results

Just how difficult is it to find treatments for rare diseases? "In every case we’ve tried so far, we’ve found something. We’re just finding existing drugs that already work." nyti.ms/2MYdo98
