This is not true whatsoever in any way. It does not have to be “medical grade”. Whatever that means. I mean, are you saying they get their snips wrong constant

This is not true whatsoever in any way. It does not have to be “medical grade”. Whatever that means. I mean, are you saying they get their snips wrong constantly.? if so, that’s patently absurd because they went through the testing to assure this doesn’t happen. Or when it does happen, it doesn’t happen with the consistency over different chips.

Yes, they get individual SNPs wrong constantly and for rare results are especially inaccurate. https://journals.lww.com/oncology-times/fulltext/2021/07200/new_study_shows_the_inaccuracy_of_at_home_genetic.7.aspx https://journals.lww.com/oncology-times/fulltext/2021/07200/...

  Thet get it wrong consistently? Did you even read the study? No you didn’t. Because if you did, you would’ve read this. “Results Overall, genotyping using SNP chips performed well compared with sequencing; sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value were all above 99% for 108 574 common variants directly genotyped on the SNP chips and sequenced in the UK Biobank. Conclusions SNP chips are extremely unreliable for genotyping very rare pathogenic variants and should not be used to guide health decisions without validation.” The SNPs I have are not very rare. And why did the task it wrong twice? Exactly wrong twice, they got all four SNPs exactly wrong twice? If you wanna give me the money to get a full genome test please send it to me and I’ll prove you were wrong. Because I’m currently homeless and on disability trying to fucking fix whatever problem I have no one fucking cares about.
