      Are direct-to-consumer ancestry or health kits the same as clinical genetic testing?

      No. Direct-to-consumer kits are generally less comprehensive and not intended for medical diagnosis. Clinical genetic testing, ordered and interpreted by a geneticist, is more targeted, more rigorously validated, and appropriate for medical decision-making.
