  Your genes are the mother of all PII.

    When they do a specific gene test, they don't do full genome sequencing. I don't know why this is difficult to understand.

  And then a family member uses a non-anonymois service. Now you have to hope that those two never end up in the same pile of data, and our experience says that it's an inevitably for that to happen at some point. Anonymous testing also seems very limited in availability.

    When the lab does a specific gene test, they don't do full genome sequencing. I don't know why this is difficult to understand. Even if a family member does the same test later, the same logic applies. The two results can't then be linked because their full genomes were not sequenced, and wouldn't be cost effective to sequence anyway.
