Worth it but science doesn't know everything yet
It was easy to use. As a user, if you dig you know the results can take up to 16 weeks so setting expectations was good. But I was more concerned with the obscure issues so its possible that I should've bought the rare disease report but the sequencing.com website doesn't really delineate that they only generate report/s based on risks that come back as 'high confidence' results and that some issues may not come back that way(i.e. Possible risk, possible detection, possible carrier Or possible detection, unknown etc) and I think the general public doesn't know that. However, I guess I understand it bc those diseases/issues/mutations haven't been studied enough or there's not a lot yet known about the disease or this particular mutation or spot on the chromosome etc. I had a lot of mutations under Unknown and a heading of Not yet Named or Inborn genetic disease, so that's disappointing and yet...understandable if the scientific community really doesn't know what those diseases entail. So basically it confirmed my entire familial history that I already knew and then confirmed there's other things that are possibly wrong... which is something I already knew but can't get medical help with. But it the end I think it was worth the money. Lastly, I'd never be able to afford the expedited costs which unfortunately lead to me having to cancel a medical genomic appointment.
