SNPedia = the wiki of human DNA variations and their consequences, based on scientific publications.

And even though DTC companies decline to make their raw data genotype frequencies public (which would clearly be the right thing to do), Promethease also shows "likely miscalls" (i.e. false positives) based on the raw data from Promethease users compared to expected frequencies.

This post is unavailable.

So, how do we throw down a line to consumers stuck in the DTC testing abyss? forbes.com/sites/ellenmat…


Of course, it used to be 100% of GCs were uncomfortable discussing DTC results w/ patients; the % who are comfortable is increasing fairly rapidly.

Stephen Bleyl @uutah distinguishes between "direct to consumer" genetic testing aka @23andme, "consumer directed" testing such as @color and DIY consumer data exploration aka @promethease: 80% of genetic counselors aren't comfortable discussing DTC results w/patients #UUPrecMed

Correction: by ASHG18 (!) @dgmacarthur #ASHG17


Gnomad target by ASHG17 is over 65K genomes & 250K exomes, all on hg38, says @dgmacarthur #ASHG17


PeopleSeq (Zoltick) reports that 89% of people find sequencing to be valuable #ASHG17


Might help you to know that overall coverage of SNPedia by different DTC/DNA companies is on our Testing page: snpedia.com/index.php/Test…

Average of 2.35 carrier variants found per individual in exome sequences (range 0 - 5) from Baylor #acmgmtg17


Half of "VUS - suspicious" variants were eventually reclassified as pathogenic/LP in Illumina's UYG genomes - so worth keeping #acmgmtg17


@jasonvassey most? variants in full genome sequencing of healthy individuals could have been seen in $99 direct-to-consumer tests #acmgmtg17

Access to *data*, or access to *results*? Which is it - there's a big difference! #myDNAmyData

#RootsTech & #NotAtRootsTech peeps: Have you used Promethease.com to help map important atDNA SNPs onto chromosome segment maps?


Opportunity to mention rare disease mutations of interest ... such as those present in SNPedia - or that should be added.


.@CardioGC What is your take on this?


.@tibbaroen If anyone with serious resources and interest ever approaches us about it, we'd definitely discuss it.


.@NIHDirector Kudos for #PMINetwork! Any predictions on which countries will start 1M+ programs, incl. Return of Results to participants?
