23andme onderzoek aanvragen zinvol?

Brin's mother, Eugenia, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In 2008, he decided to make a donation to the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where his mother is being treated.[23] Brin used the services of 23andMe and discovered that although Parkinson's is generally not hereditary, both he and his mother possess a mutation of the LRRK2 gene (G2019S) that puts the likelihood of him developing Parkinson's in later years between 20 and 80%.[6] When asked whether ignorance was not bliss in such matters, he stated that his knowledge means that he can now take measures to ward off the disease. An editorial in The Economist magazine states that "Mr Brin regards his mutation of LRRK2 as a bug in his personal code, and thus as no different from the bugs in computer code that Google’s engineers fix every day. By helping himself, he can therefore help others as well. He considers himself lucky. ... But Mr. Brin was making a much bigger point. Isn’t knowledge always good, and certainly always better than ignorance?"[6]

	Bij de volgende site: https://www.23andme.com/ kun je een genetische test van á 90 euro aanvragen. Dit zit ik sterk te overwegen. Een recent voorbeeld waarom: quote: Brin's mother, Eugenia, has been diagnosed with Parkinson's disease. In 2008, he decided to make a donation to the University of Maryland School of Medicine, where his mother is being treated.[23] Brin used the services of 23andMe and discovered that although Parkinson's is generally not hereditary, both he and his mother possess a mutation of the LRRK2 gene (G2019S) that puts the likelihood of him developing Parkinson's in later years between 20 and 80%.[6] When asked whether ignorance was not bliss in such matters, he stated that his knowledge means that he can now take measures to ward off the disease.

Isn’t knowledge always good, and certainly always better than ignorance?"[6] Wanneer je inzage hebt in je genetische aanleg voor ziektes als Alzheimer of MSI is, dan kun je voorzorgsmaatregelen nemen door je voedseliname daarop af te stemmen. Ziektes zullen niet uitgesloten worden, maar je kunt de kansen daarop wel aanzienlijk reduceren. Iemand ervaring met 23andme? [ Bericht 2% gewijzigd door Robuustheid op 14-01-2014 15:05:11 ]

	Niet doen behalve als je jezelf een angst complex wilt aanpraten. Genetische aanleg is alsnog afhankelijk van vele factoren wil het ook echt ergens aan bijdragen en door zo'n onderzoek te laten doen ga je het realisme uit het oog verliezen wat vervangen wordt door paranoďde angst. Om dezelfde reden ook niet zomaar een full body scan laten doen.
