For many people, like myself and many friends and family, we've already been fully sequenced, so usually when one of these new studies comes out, it's just a matter of going to https://you.23andme.com/tools/data/ https://you.23andme.com/tools/data/ and looking up the SNP in question, which I guess is rs9367106. It would be nice if more articles like this would just give the marker and what the variants mean for the study, but I guess we're not quite there yet.
- dekhn 3y agoIf you only did the normal 23 and me test, you weren't fully sequenced. Just a tiny subset. Since most phenotypes are in fact caused by large numbers of mutations, each acting in a non-linear (non-additive) way, just knowing this SNP doesn't really provide that much information (except if the specific allele is highly penetrant, which seems unlikely in this case).
