Dry Eyes: Using Genetic Data to Find the Right Solutions
Use your genetic data to understand the root causes of dry eyes, from immune response to meibomian glands, and explore research-backed options to relieve symptoms.
HLA
POTS: Genetics, Causes, and Solutions for Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome
Explore the genetic basis of POTS, from HLA and norepinephrine transporter variants to EDS, MCAS, and long Covid connections, plus strategies to better manage symptoms.
Mold, Mycotoxins, and Your Genes: Detox Pathways, Symptoms, and SNPs
Mycotoxins from food and water-damaged buildings are cleared via CYP450, GST, and UGT pathways. Variants in these detox genes explain why mold and mycotoxin sensitivity varies.
Celiac Genes: How to Check Your Raw Data
Celiac disease is caused by a combination of environmental factors (eating gluten, other factors) and having the genetic variants that cause susceptibility to the disease. Without the genetic susceptibility, you won’t have celiac.
HLA-B27: Genetic Risk, Ankylosing Spondylitis, and Autoimmune Diseases
The HLA-B27 serotype is linked to an increased risk of several autoimmune diseases, including ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and IBD.
Psoriasis Genes: How Genetics Point to Individualized Solutions
Psoriasis is an autoimmune condition that causes dry, sometimes itchy patches of skin. It is caused by the immune system attacking your skin cells, speeding up the turnover of the cells. Genetics plays a role in your susceptibility.
Chronic Lyme: Genetic Susceptibility
The interesting thing about Lyme disease is that the genetic variants you carry impact both how the disease affects you and how well antibiotics work for you. Learn whether your genetic variants are linked to post-treatment Lyme disease symptoms such as joint pain. (Member’s article)
Mosquito Bite Genes: Are you a mosquito magnet?
Do you feel like you are a magnet for mosquitoes? Genetic variants do play a role in how attractive you are to mosquitoes.
Genetic Variants that Increase Susceptibility to Lyme Disease
Lyme disease recovery can vary. Whether you recover quickly or have chronic symptoms that include joint pain or arthritis, it may be due to the genetic variants that you carry.
Multiple Sclerosis: Genetic Factors and Susceptibility to MS
MS susceptibility is linked to both genetic causes and environmental factors. Learn how those two combine – and possible solutions.
Sjogren’s: Causes, Genes, Solutions
Are you dealing with dry eyes and dry mouth? Sjögren’s syndrome is an autoimmune disorder that affects moisture-producing glands. Discover the underlying causes of Sjögren’s syndrome and the genetic variants that increase susceptibility.
Antibiotics: Genetics and Antibiotic Reactions
Genetics plays a role in the susceptibility to antibiotic allergies. Learn which genetic variants increase your risk.
Genetic Variant Linked to Side Effects from mRNA vaccines
Will you get side effects from mRNA vaccines? A genetic variant in the HLA-A gene might cause an increase in your response to the vaccine.
Genetics and Food Allergies
Do you have a food allergy? Discover how environmental factors and genetic susceptibility can shape individual reactions.
Vaccines, Genetics, and Autoimmune Diseases: A roundup of the research
A look into the research-backed studies showing how certain vaccines may slightly increase the absolute risk of autoimmune diseases in susceptible individuals. (Member’s article)
Lupus: Genetics, Root Causes, and Possible Solutions
Lupus is a complex autoimmune disease that can impact several different systems in your body. Learn more about how your genetic variants impact the “why” for this autoimmune disease.
9 Genes that Impact the Response to Vaccines
Genetics plays a huge role in how an individual responds to a vaccine. Learn more about vaccines, immunity, and genetic variants that affect the response.
Genetic Susceptibility to Viruses
Viral immunity-your genes protect you. Your genetic variants shape your immune system and give you superpowers against some pathogens, perhaps more susceptible to others.
Grass pollen: Allergies and Genes
Allergies are usually due to a mix of genetic susceptibility and being exposed to certain triggering molecules. Several different gene variants have ties to an increased risk of grass pollen allergies.
Gulf War Illness: Genetic Susceptibility and Current Research
Many genetic variants have been studied for Gulf War Illness. Take a look into the research behind the illness and discover some possible solutions to help with symptoms.
