Science the shit out of all that is available.
Did 23andMe years ago. Recently imported my data into Promethease and am learning all sorts of stuff about myself. 7x likely to go bald - confirmed!
Here is an interesting one.
Normal (higher) blood pressure. Almost all white people and a majority of non-white people have this normal version. But it isn't as good as the other rare mutant version which would have lowered blood pressure. Tested in Asians. They had an average blood pressure of 127.4/80.1 with this Allele.
My BP is in this exact range.
Then this...
Mix of muscle types. Likely sprinter. Normal for white people. One working and one defective copy of the gene for alpha-actinin-3 in fast-twitch muscle fibres. This genotype may indicate somewhat impaired muscles, however many sprinters and some endurance athletes have this.
I am of course just scratching the surface.
Anyone else do this? What was your journey interpreting the results into something both meaningful and useful?
