I emailed the researcher, whose address was at the end of the article with the appropriate gene data (BHLHE41 on Chromosome 12) to see if my DNA is a match. The article said its a mutation, but maybe those with the mutation exhibit a certain codon pair. Its an amazing time when you can read an article about such a thing, and then cross check your DNA in a matter of seconds. Articles will have to start posting the raw DNA for results.
- AgentConundrum 16y agoJust out of curiosity, why do you have your genetic makeup readily available for cross checking?

- AgentConundrum 16y agoI had never heard of that before. Interesting site/service, but I really don't see me ever using it.
- joahua 16y agoAdding to this, what are the potential ramifications of having accessed this data in terms of seeking health/life/other insurance? It seems a range of these services give insight into risk factors that I imagine insurers might not look favourably upon (given they're typically not able to do such screening themselves)...

- alex_c 16y agoThis comment blows my mind much more than the article itself.
