Elevated Fibrinogen: Risk factor for blood clots

Fibrinogen is a protein that is essential for creating blood clots when you get a wound. But higher levels of fibrinogen are a major risk factor for heart disease and DVT. Learn how your genes impact your fibrinogen level.

Naltrexone Uses, Low Dose Naltrexone, Genetic interactions with Naltrexone

Low-Dose Naltrexone: LDN & Genetics

The use of low dose naltrexone (LDN) can be an effective treatment for some autoimmune diseases, pain syndromes, and chronic fatigue syndrome. Learn how this opioid antagonist works on the immune system and how your genetics can play a part in its efficacy.

How the ITGB3 PlA2 variant changes platelet clumping and clot formation

ITGB3: PlA1/A2 variant and clotting risk

The PlA2 variant of the ITGB3 gene is linked to an increased risk of blood clots including stroke, heart attack, and DVT. But this variant also comes with a positive trade-off with reduced risk of hantavirus infection severity.

ADRA1A Genetic Variants, fight or flight response

ADRA1A Receptors: Blood Vessel Reactions Under Stress

We have many systems in place to control blood pressure and heart rate. The ADRA1A receptors are part of this system. Discover how variants can influence blood vessel stress response and how others are connected to cognitive changes.

Covid-19: Long Covid and Long Spike

Long Spike

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

How APOBEC3 enzymes disable viruses by mutating viral DNA

APOBEC3 Family of Genes

The APOBEC3 family of enzymes has a unique way of stopping viruses from replicating. Your genes can affect whether the virus becomes inactive or more virulent.

TLR7: Susceptibility to COVID-19

TLR7: Susceptibility to COVID-19

In recent research, mutations in TLR7 (a sensor in our innate immune system) might cause severe Covid-19 in a small minority of healthy people.

COVID-19 & Genetics

COVID-19 & Genetics: Who gets sick and why?

Not everyone gets sick when exposed to the SARS-CoV-2 virus. While there are many factors that come into play here, research points to genetics as playing a role. Several good genetic studies have recently been released showing which genes are important in COVID-19 susceptibility. Learn more and check your genes.
