ABCC11 Graphical Abstract: Body odor and ear wax. Variants cause body odor and wet earwax.

ABCC11 Gene: Ear wax and no body odor

The ABCC11 gene determines both the type of earwax a person has and their armpit odor. Learn more about how a change in a single spot in the DNA of this gene can cause the gene not to function.

Long Spike

Discover the research and genetic links to why you may be more susceptible to certain outcomes with long spike.

Factor V Leiden (F5 Gene) variant, blood clot risk, deep vein thrombosis

Factor V Leiden Gene: Increased Risk of Blood Clots

The factor V Leiden genetic mutation significantly increases the lifetime risk of blood clots. Check your genetic data to see if you carry this mutation – and then learn to recognize the symptoms of blood clots.

miRNAs control gene expression by blocking translation of mRNA into the protein.

miRNA: What It Is and How It Works

miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They are important for healthy aging, longevity, metabolic health, and immune function.

Familial Mediterranean Fever (FMF), Genes, symptoms, solutions

Familial Mediterranean Fever: Mimics fibromyalgia, arthritis, inflammation

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is a genetic condition of inflammatory episodes that cause painful joints, pain in the abdomen, or pain in the chest. It is most often accompanied by a fever. FMF is often misdiagnosed as various pain-related conditions such as fibromyalgia, myofascial pain syndrome, or gouty arthritis.

New research on FTO gene variants, FTO and heart disease, viral susceptibility

FTO and m6A Methylation

Recently, researchers discovered that FTO is an m6A eraser that removes methyl groups from mRNA. This discovery has opened up huge avenues of research on topics from cancer to immune response to heart disease.

Understanding MTHFR Test Results

Unraveling MTHFR: A Comprehensive Guide The human body is a complex system, and understanding its intricacies can often seem like a daunting task. One such complexity lies in our genes, specifically the MTHFR gene. This gene, and the enzyme it produces, plays a crucial role in our health. However, mutations … Read more

Tyramine Intolerance: Metabolism of Tyramine, MAOA, FMO3, and CYP2D6 enzymes, foods high in tyramine

Tyramine Intolerance: Metabolism of Tyramine

Tyramine intolerance happens when you can’t break it down. Too much tyramine can lead to a hypertensive crisis. Learn more and check your genetic raw data for results.

CCR5 Gene, Immune Response, Mutation-that-blocks-you-from-getting-AIDS-or-HIV

Mutation that blocks you from getting AIDS or HIV

The CCR5 gene is an important player in the immune response. A mutation in the CCR5 gene, called the Delta32 mutation, significantly reduces the chance of an HIV infection.

Graphical overview of the genetic and environmental factors involved in schizophrenia

Schizophrenia: Genetic and Environmental Factors

Schizophrenia is a complex disease caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility along with environmental factors. Research points to multiple pathways involved in schizophrenia and schizoaffective disorder.

Luteolin: Anti-inflammatory Neuroprotective, Antihistamine, food high in luteolin, genetic

Luteolin: Antihistamine, Memory, and Brain Fog

New research suggests the benefits of luteolin (a flavonoid found in fruits, vegetables, and herbs) may include anti-inflammatory and neuroprotective properties.

Dopamine receptors, natural Agonists and antagonist for dopamine

Dopamine Receptor SNPs: Addiction, Mood, ADHD, and Schizophrenia

Dopamine is a powerful player in our cognitive function – impacting mood, movement, and motivation. Genetic variants in the dopamine receptors influence addiction, ADHD, neurological diseases, depression, psychosis, and aggression.

Genetic and Environmental facts for male pattern baldness and hair loss

Will you go bald? Genetics and hair loss

What causes male pattern baldness? A combination of genetics, nutrition, and environmental toxins come together to form the risk factors for baldness. But genetics really seems to rule the roost here.
