Well, excuse me for being lazy and using less specific terminology than you desire. Yes, I know how 23andme's SNP probing works. I just prefer to imagine a personal genomics market in general that evolves to the state where we can all have our full genome sequenced. And we're not going to get there without having early adopters and baby steps instead.
I don't need government protection from this, certainly not over a one time fee of $99 that has ample disclaimers, and at worst, will cause me to waste time asking my doctor over a condition I don't have, and at best, find out the cause of a disorder that doctors haven't been able to diagnose.
Yes, and in some very rare cases, some people will be told they don't have the BRCA gene when they really do, as if there's an epidemic of women have been avoiding mammograms because of DNA tests, instead of lacking healthcare, or being given confusing directives over the years over when, and how often they need to have exams.
