From SNPedia

Possible false positive : rs62642941(I;I)

https://www.wegene.com/crowdsourcing/details/348

The whole-genome sequencing provided by Wegene shows that in the range of nearly 2,000 samples, most Chinese people show (I;I) at this position.

Thanks for mentioning this; however, this is not a false positive. The issue (as noted in text on the associated genotypes) is that the only major direct-to-consumer company testing this SNP, 23andMe, systematically makes an error and finds all normal individuals to be (D;D). So in SNPedia and Promethease we try to account for this error by 23andMe. We've just edited two of the genotypes to try to make this clearer, thanks to your suggestion.Greg (talk) 01:25, 29 August 2018 (UTC)
