This is definitely true. Even looking at risk SNP databases for a particular disease is fraught with caveats. You really need someone with experience in the field, like a medical geneticist, to interpret the data you get. 23andMe and Ancestry can at least provide that for people, but I don't necessarily like giving up that data to a company to hold for me. But that's cool you were able to find some known markers of your personal medical history
