Do your fingertips turn white and blue when cold? Discover the causes and symptoms of Raynaud’s syndrome and your genetic susceptibility.
L-theanine for anxiety: Genetics and nature’s chill pill
L-theanine is known for reducing anxiety and promoting sleep. Discover the many benefits of l-theanine and how supplementation might work for you.
Recurrent miscarriage: Genes and Inflammation
Learn about how genetic variants in certain inflammatory cytokines can increase or decrease the risk of recurrent miscarriage.
Mast cells: Mast Cell Activation Syndrome, Genetics, and Solutions
Mast cells are essential to your innate immune system, defending against pathogens and allergens. For some people, mast cells can be triggered too easily, giving allergy-like responses to lots of different substances.
ME/CFS: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (and Long Covid?) Genes
Take a look into the science of the lingering effects of viruses, including chronic fatigue syndrome and long-haul viruses.
Alpha-1 Antitrypsin Deficiency: Genetic Raw Data, Carrier Effects, Interactions with TNF
A genetic mutation in the SERPINA1 gene causes alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency. This increases a person’s susceptibility to COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease) and, in some cases, cirrhosis of the liver. Knowing that you carry this mutation can be a great incentive to avoid smoking and to be kind to your liver.
PTPN22 and Autoimmune Diseases
The PTPN22 gene plays a pivotal role in that balance, and genetic variants (SNPs) in PTPN22 increase your risk of autoimmune conditions such as vitiligo, alopecia, RA, type 1 diabetes, and autoimmune thyroid diseases. (Member’s article)
