23andme and my reaction

[justalurkr]

Muscle performance: Unlikely sprinter.
Yo mama sprints in army boots.

Norovirus resistance: Not resistant.
"Poisoned...by an unwashed grape." (report reference washing all lettuce thoroughly)

Resistance to HIV/AIDS: Not Resistant
Some people ARE? this should not be taken as endorsement of risky life choices.

Freckling: Typical amount of freckling
...until exposed to .5 nanoseconds or more of sunlight. Oh, wait. They meant for N. Euro ancestry, and we are some serious-assed frecklers. In that case, mine do fade to basic distribution pretty quickly. ;)

Eyes: Likely blue
Already recorded as a half miss, because they're hazel. A very light hazel, I'll grant you and they do react to those dilation agents used in eye exams as if they were blue.

Food preference: No call.
(had to do with preference for sweets.) Apparently, I overwhelmed the gene meter with my pref for sweet things.

Hair color: "typical" odds of red hair.
I beat those odds quite soundly. I was at one point a natural redhead.

Eating behavior: Greater tendency to overeat
NAILED it.

Yep. It's a genetic mutation. Many people with it are being studied to see if their natural immunity can be replicated as a vaccine, or used as a treatment. I know at least one person with AIDS received a bone marrow transplant from someone with the mutation, and for all intents, they were cured.

Apparently I broke the machinery on the preference for sweets too, as it also did a no call.

Did you get anything useful about drug sensitivities? I apparently have a weenie pain tolerance and should take care with blood thinners.

I have a reduced response to Hepatitis C Treatment, Thiopurine Methyltransferase Deficiency (which means I'm likely to have issues with a family of drugs used to treat acute lymphoblastic leukemia, inflammatory bowel disease and autoimmune diseases, and to prevent the rejection of transplanted organs), and substantially higher odds of heroin addiction. Wheee!

I saw what my mother went through with Warfarin for months, and it was horrible. Everyone should be careful with blood thinners, and that one in particular is actually rat poison repurposed as a drug, so...
