Any of you done the genetic mapping?
I just sent in my packet for 23andme.com with the saliva/cheek cell sample for genetic mapping. I have several patients that have done it and turned me on to it.
It actually showed a propensity for periodontal disease and certain types of cancer and brain issues/diseases. I think it is similar to what Angelina Jolie used perhaps. Anyhow, have any of you guys done this? Did it confirm where you thought you were from? History of familial disease? Markers for any diseases? I can't wait to get mine back. |

I did it for my dog (my wife wanted it for Christmas). They couldn't determine what breed she was.
What a waste of $70.

I guess I'd like to know if I'm prone to Alzheimers so that I can take out long term care insurance. Things like that. Plus, I guess it can pinpoint an exact location your genome developed on earth. I'm German, I know that, but I'm hoping to find some Viking badass in there as well.

You're already repeating yourself.

The whole genetic causal basis for alzheimer's and many other disorders hasn't really been hashed out, so these tests aren't really helpful outside of facilitating anxious thoughts about said disorders. tl;dr Just live your life and forget about these genetic panels until we have better causal evidence for many of these disorders. |

j/k. you provided valuable genetic info; 10/10, would rep again. really is nice to have at least a few other people on the board who have some idea of at least the basic science. |

No way. I don't want a double of myself showing up killing me and taking my place.
