Reduced-function CYP2C19 variants mainly raise antidepressant levels and side effects.
Claim:
Genetic variants in the CYP2C19 gene that reduce CYP2C19 enzyme activity can contribute to relatively treatment-resistant depression by reducing the metabolism of some antidepressant medications.
MOSTLY BS
Published studies and reviews report CYP2C19 variants are associated with depression outcomes.
Claim:
Scientific studies report an association between CYP2C19 genetic variants and major depressive disorder, longer depressive episodes, and greater depressive symptom severity.
NOT BS

Familial DNA searches can misidentify distant relatives as first-degree relatives.
Claim:
Scientific studies show that the risk of misidentification from partial DNA matching in familial DNA searching is very low.
MOSTLY BS
Familial DNA hits are investigative leads requiring confirmatory STR testing.
Claim:
Familial DNA matching cannot be the sole evidence used to establish probable cause for an arrest warrant.
NOT BS
Arrests after familial DNA leads generally hinge on probable cause, not universal pre-arrest confirmatory DNA testing.
Claim:
Before arresting a suspect identified through familial DNA searching, investigators are required to obtain and test the suspect's own DNA to confirm an exact match.
MOSTLY BS
Forensic genetic genealogy links crime-scene DNA to relatives via genealogy databases.
Claim:
Forensic genetic genealogy can generate investigative leads by linking a crime-scene DNA sample to biological relatives using genealogy records.
NOT BS
Crime-scene DNA evidence is routinely analyzed and used without database matches.
Claim:
If a crime victim or suspect is unknown or not registered in a law-enforcement DNA database, biological evidence from the crime scene will never be considered in the investigation.
