Seriously, you said it yourself-----they are PROBABILITY tests based on DNA sequences that are associated with some diseases. If a disease is a single gene abnormality, the tests are pretty definitive---such as sickle cell or B-thallasemia. But most of the diseases that you and I would be interested in are multifactorial----heart disease, cancers, diabetes, etc. Now the testing becomes less definitive and probabilities take on a bigger role. So common sense needs to prevail-----don't make any final arrangements based on these tests. Then, if you have a higher probability of heart disease, stay fit, maintain ideal weight, and limit fat/cholesterol. If you have a higher probability of lung cancer---DON"T SMOKE!

I realize your prime minister leans a bit left, but that does not give you license to write revisionist history. Very simply, I WON, YOU LOST. However, since I believe it was I that first invented the term "cross-threading", I get more leeway. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

You are so smart. Just reading your post made my brain hurt.

That's quite a trick, since there are no pain receptors in the brain!!!!:beer3:

Wow. I did not know that. Guess that's why I was a legal assistant and not a brain surgeon.

Genetic DNA Testing
 

I did not know GE was a brain surgeon. Maybe he stayed at a Holiday Inn Express. Who knew? [emoji41][emoji106]

Brain surgeon, no. There just weren't enough customers who met the prerequisites. :1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

But I did stay in a Holiday Inn Express, and paid with the American Express card, before getting on the Orient Express to pick up a package in Paris delivered by Federal Express. I hope I expressed myself clearly!

We did this thru Ancestry and the results were spot on what we both expected. It also explains why I have no rhythm. :ohdear:

I haven't done it yet. If you use 23 and me, it also tells you how many Neanderthal genes you have. Probably the reason I haven't done it yet:1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

You clearly did. 1rotfl::1rotfl::1rotfl:

Ancestry.com put their DNA service on sale occasionally. I had my DNA tested for $75 and DID get surprises. Thought we were German, but Scandinavian instead. Also Iberian and tiny percentage of Irish and British. No surprise with the last two. Maternal G grandmother born in UK of Irish father. I have a degenerative eye disease of the optic nerves which is usually found in middle European Jews. No Jewish connection found thus far. It's a mystery

Extensive Results from DNA tests can be received quickly for an extra $5 or $10 here.

Promethease

It was worth it simply to end the suspense as another poster commented. My DNA results were so boring I could hardly get through it. Surprised? Yes, that among my siblings I am the most Irish! Did you know that your siblings get a little different DNA mix than you do? I expected to be heavily German and Jewish or surely French. I am zero Jewish and a speck German. I'm mostly, English. Nothing exciting.

No, your results won't be exactly the same.
