23 and Me Health Report/ OSA

Post by dreamingofdreaming » Tue Nov 17, 2020 11:58 am

I did a 23 and me DNA & Health report a couple years ago. They just did an update that addresses OSA in my health report. It states I have an increased likelihood for Obstructive Sleep Apnea.

I keep getting updates for more relatives--the latest one is in England--big surprise!
I wish I had done the health thing--but I probably know about most of my disorders already.

It's pretty cool. It tells you if you carry certain genes that make you a greater risk of developing certain things or passing things onto your children. It also is able to tell you things like, your hair color and eye color. I had to laugh a little when I read the last updated report that said I have an increase rick for OSA. There were a few other health issues that I have, that are showing up in the report.

I do wonder if I have the BRCA gene, just for the benefit of my niece and her daughter.
Of course, BC can affect males as well, but no idea if it would then be related to the gene.

That is one of the genes that they test for.
