I have my nebula genomics results and this snip in particular seems relevant .

Does anyone else have their results?

Snip rs2476601 it says in snpedia.com

that it is bad to have an A and very rare to have 2 AA

Can cause lots of other autoimmune diseases too

Best wishes

For that specific one I came out GG, a rare triumph for me but as you say most common result.I haven’t looked through my database for some time now it’s so complicated and some results - I wonder how I’m still here or was ever here - or my ancestors!

They say some balance out others, I found that very much with my reports

For example despite some dire genes I apparently can metabolise alcohol and coffee quickly, for some reason that one stuck. Though I have no alcoholic or coffee addicts in the family, then again my thyroid genes indicate genetic but there are no diagnosed thyroid issues either, something must have just triggered mine.

That’s interesting that you haven’t got those alleles!

Maybe check the ones in this link?

This seems up to date

Best wishes to you
