BRCA testing by 23andME is the same as Myriad Genetics.

February 2009 23andMe entered into clinical medical testing of DNA variants which are the exact same variants Myriad Genetics tests for. There is only ONE use for this test. That is a clinical use. When these results are obtained clinical counseling is the standard of care for delivery of these results. Not a flashy webportal......

Minimizing the seriousness of a medical test looked just as awkward by us in the first video as it should be by showing it on a blimp or at a cocktail party or highway billboard sign.....All things that Linda Avey and Anne Woj decided to have their company do....

The Sherpa Says: Misha is correct, Medical Geneticists painted themselves into a corner by harboring in the rare disease port. This allowed people who have no G-dDamn business in medicine, to play doctor at parties and on the internet!
