DNA has limits, but so does study questioning its value, geneticists say

DNA has limits, but so does study questioning its value, geneticists say:

Geneticists don’t dispute the idea that genes aren’t the only factor that determines whether we get sick; many of them agree with that point. The problem, geneticists say, is not that the study, published on 2 April in Science Translational Medicine, arrived at a false conclusion, but that it arrived at an old, familiar one via questionable methods and is now being portrayed by the media as a new discovery that undermines the value of genetics.
