🤔 Curious about the accuracy of direct-to-consumer genetic testing for conditions like celiac disease? In this #HealthyBites clip, Dr. Ahmed El-Sohemy shares a compelling case study, emphasizing the importance of comprehensive genetic and functional testing for precise health insights.
Kew Takeaways:
* 23andMe has played a significant role in democratizing genetic testing and making it more accessible.
* While 23andMe provides interesting and fun genetic information, caution is needed when interpreting health-related data.
* In a case study on celiac disease, 23andMe only tested for 2 SNIPs in the HLA Gene region, while our test examines 6, resulting in a misdiagnosis.
* Antibody and biopsy testing confirmed celiac disease, contradicting 23andMe's report.
* 23andMe looks at random markers and lacks comprehensive insights into certain genetic traits.
* Hair type, being a complex trait, cannot be accurately determined by the limited markers tested by 23andMe.
* 23andMe may provide accurate information for specific markers but its overall coverage is limited.
* Comprehensive genetic testing provides more reliable and comprehensive information for health-related genetic markers.
* It is essential to exercise caution and seek further testing when using 23andMe for health-related genetic information.
* Genetic traits and diseases often involve multiple genetic markers, and relying solely on 23andMe may lead to inaccurate conclusions.
