![]() All of this information can be gleaned from this report. I'm at moderate risk for Alzheimer's yet a low risk for Parkinson's. I found out I am high risk for age-related macular degeneration but low risk for osteoporosis. Determining factors in your DNA that affect things like allergy, fitness, skin and personality were evaluated. For $99, I was able to find out more about myself than I ever thought to ask. My beautiful mother sadly overdosed when she was 47-years-old, so I don't know how her DNA would have fared long term.Īfter I procured this information, I was then able to upload the raw data to Xcode Life. One thing to note: My father worked out every day and went to the YMCA in Atlanta until his death. It's also known as the "Methuselah Mutation" which causes certain people (many Askkenazi Jews) to live a long time, despite their lifestyle choices, as in my Kaplan family's case. Why? Ashkenazi Jews are notorious for having the longevity gene. He drank and smoked since he was 13 (I know he started smoking then).

Your overall likelihood also depends on factors like weight, diet, and exercise." My father, his father and his father were all Type 2 diabetics. Isn't DNA cute like that to skip a generation? Healthwise, there are some markers that I think are valuable: "You have a typical genetic likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes. I passed the red-hair gene to two of my children my third has olive skin, dark hair and blue eyes. My red-haired Gentile mother was where I get the other part of my DNA the northwestern European ancestry. ![]() I have his dark hair and olive skin (though I have vitiligo, the skin condition characterized by white patches of skin so you can't see it as well). He had beautiful black hair, olive skin and blue eyes. My biological father, who passed away in 2011, was an Ashkenazi Jew. I instead completed the 23andme test, and I liked it better. I knew my mother's relatives so I had some information. So I didn't know much about him other than some facts he told me. My mother died when I was 12 my father left me when I was 9 months old. They were just out of my life a good part of my life. ![]() I was adopted but not until age 12 so my parents weren't a mystery. They want you to join and find family pen pals. I found out WHO I am thanks to these tests. Who, the band from the 70s sang this song and asked, "Who are you? Who who who who?" I recently completed the DNA test 23andme and then further uploaded that data to XCode Life. ![]()
