Just mentioning it because Matt's Mom mentioned it. 23 and me is a test you can take from home that will test your DNA. You just spit into a tube and send it in and will test like 100+ things including variants for Parkinson's and [font=arial, sans-serif]Alzheimer's.[/font]
[font=arial, sans-serif]Good news... I don't have any variants for that. In fact, I don't have any variants for ANYTHING. Any bad diseases. I am also, not a carrier for any bad diseases. Why didn't I reproduce! [/font]
[font=arial, sans-serif]I am also just tickled pink that I am what I thought I was ancestry wise. 80% irish and 20 percent other things. The largest of which is Italian. That tickles me because I have an italian sur name and everyone always thinks I am italian although I look very Irish. [/font]
[font=arial, sans-serif]The funniest revelation is that I tested positive for a DNA variant that makes me likely to be an elite athlete. Now you have to know me.. I am very weak and always have been that way. But you see, I could be so much more. It really made me think because people of my ancestry are like 30% this way.[/font]
[font=arial, sans-serif]I still have a few filters to run the raw data through. [/font]
[font=arial, sans-serif]Has anyone else done this? [/font]
[font=arial, sans-serif]Interestingly I have 1200 genetic relatives on the service you can make contact with them and this year.. on the holidays... if my sister doesn't want me over.. I got 1200 relatives to hit up. Weirdly [/font][font=arial, sans-serif]zero are in my state though. [/font]
