23 and me is a GWAS platform, which is known to have about 10-15% error. That is just a fact. You can find out your BRCA results there as well, but is 10-15% error ok? Obviously not. We have a test that studies just KRAS. It is 100% accurate. Any clinical result has to be 100% accurate, or pretty darn close to that. That's why 23 and me isn't approved to deliver clinical results, and in fact was pulled from the market last December, for that very reason.
