What if the data acquisition and data analysis are done by separate people? Which one is the one "practicing medicine"? The point of my questions is to illustrate that this is a new development, which can't be regulated under the old paradigm of DTC genetic testing. People with the most experience in the field have the hardest time seeing this. What if it’s interpretation regarding non-disease related traits?
