I have a whole genome sequence and a 23 & Me test.
To be honest, neither test produced much usable information. The whole genome produces more results, but I don’t really have anything of great significance in either output.
This seems to be common. The few genome interpretation groups I’ve looked at are full of people trying to extract significant meaning from results that don’t really say much.
Unless you have a major genetic problem, the results of any of these tests aren’t hugely helpful. It’s also too easy to misinterpret the results and think that some of them are more significant than they really are. Most individual genes don’t have a huge effect on overall health, despite what some of the unscrupulous genome analysis sites try to sell you.
