23andMe
THE BEST SALE OF THE 23ANDME YEAR IS HERE!
Rarely will you see the 23andMe Health + Ancestry kit on sale—and by on sale I’m talking $100 OFF!
I did the 23andMe Ancestry + Health test earlier this year and I was blown away by the information I learned about myself. In conversations with others, I’ve heard mixed feedback on getting this kind of information. It’s scary to see what kind of health predispositions you have or what variants you may be a carrier of. I’m of the opinion that I would rather have the information and be proactive where necessary, than to wait and hope I never have to worry about it or can catch whatever it is in time to “treat”.
The 23andMe Health + Ancestry kit created 13 health predisposition reports; 44 carrier status reports; 8 wellness reports, and 34 traits reports. Most fascinating though were my health reports!
What did the “Health” results tell me, exactly?
My sister and I share 43.4% DNA.
I have a “slightly-increased risk” for late-onset Alzheimer’s (my grandmother had this disease).
My genetics predict I prefer chocolate ice cream to vanilla, which is totally true.
I am not a carrier of the Cystic Fibrosis variant.
Predicted my hair to be likely light, likely thick, and likely straight or wavy—all true!
My genetics + other factors mean I’m likely to get more mosquito bites than others, which is 100000% accurate. The mosquito bite struggle is real, friends.
The BRCA1/BRCA2 variant was NOT detected. Considering my aunt is currently living with stage 4 breast cancer—this is a huge relief to me.
I discovered that a first cousin on my mom’s side is a very distant cousin to a first cousin on my dad’s side.
For “ability to match musical pitch”, it predicted i am less likely to be able to. Andddd this is why I only sing when I’m alone.
The list goes on and on. It created 13 health predisposition reports; 44 carrier status reports; 8 wellness reports, and 34 traits reports.
But…that’s not to say the Ancestry results weren’t equally fascinating. It confirmed a lot of what I already knew, and surprised me in other areas.
What did I learn from my Ancestry report?
I am 99.2% European.
Of that 99.2%, 56.7% is British & Irish and 26.5% is French & German (primarily German).
My great grandmother and grandfather from my mom’s side of the family are both Irish, with my mom’s mom being the first-generation American born Irish. I knew that my Irish roots ran strong, and even knew generally where my family originated in Ireland. However, I thought this number would have been closer to 25-30% not close to 60%!
My other three grandparents all have German and other Western European roots, which lead me to believe that number would have been higher.
