Prof Anneke Lucassen, a clinical geneticist at the University of Southampton, said that, in her experience, non-specialists would be likely to wrongly interpret negative results as an “all-clear”.
南安普顿大学临床遗传学家安妮克•卢卡森教授表示,根据她的经验,非专业人士很可能会错误地将阴性结果解读为“没有风险”。
“I do think the ‘false-negative’ rate is an issue, not necessarily through the companies’ fault but through low general awareness,” she said. “Most people who come to clinic ask: ‘Have I got the gene for breast cancer?’ and imagine it’s a single test, not that the test involves looking through around 20,000 letters of the genetic code to see if any one of them might be different.”
她说:“我确实认为假阴性率是个问题,这不一定是由于公司的失误,而是由于人们的普遍意识不强。大多数来诊所的人会问:‘我有乳腺癌的基因吗?’想象一下,这是一个单一的测试,而不是通过检查大约两万个基因序列编码来判断哪些有所不同。”
