Genetics prof: Why I won’t waste my money on a DNA test in 2014 13 years ago
I got a genetic test done with 23andme. It said I had a (greater probability of a) warfarin sensitivity. This was interesting because my grandma had a stroke after being given warfarin. The stroke put her in a wheelchair for the rest of her life - it ended her independence and she had to go into a home with 24hr care. It was horrible.
After this I got my entire family tested. As expected my mother carried the warfarin gene (the grandma was on her side of the family).
Knowing this information is hugely valuable to me. I think it's awful that the FDA deems fit to prevent me getting information about myself.
