We already know more than is in that article.

From the genetic test that was done on me I received a summary report on 122 mortality-related health risk genetic sites. eg. From the genetic testing I know that I have a less than average risk of:

Coronary Heart Disease, Type 2 Diabetes, Prostate Cancer, Venous Thromboembolism, Alzheimer’s Disease, Melanoma, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Age-related Macular Degeneration etc.

And both my risk and the average risk for the most important 31 of these 122 is known. That’s enough to do reliable mortality predictions.

What’s the confidence interval like on these predictions?
