Up to 40 percent of DNA results from consumer tests bogus and a total waste of time

The Sheeple are lining up to sell their DNA to evil companies like Ancestry.com, MyHeritage, and 23andMe that catalogue your DNA and sell it to advertisers, it turns out these expensive “professionals” are nothing more than scammers giving people false positives and cancer scares. I knew that these tests were bullshit and basically told you the same idea of your ancestry as looking in the mirror, but I didn’t know it was this bad. Being wrong half the time.

What Ambry Genetics did was simply take a look at the data from these consumer DNA tests. Indeed, they went through a total of 49 samples containing raw genotyping data, and what they found was quite alarming. The researchers said that 40 percent of all the variants found in the raw data were nothing but so-called false positives – mistakes – which means that they could lead people to believe things that aren’t really true. There have been many cases of such genetic tests resulting in “surprises” to people, such as when one Germany family found out that they were Scottish, but it turns out that this kind of occurrence could be nothing but an error in the data.

What’s even more problematic is that most of the false positive results were related to cancer-linked genes. This means that those who encountered such false positives likely suffered from cancer scares even though the data was flat out wrong. The researchers also noted that there were a number of instances where third-party DNA interpretation services simply “misunderstood” what they were looking at. It sounds like a sad affair all around.
