r/DNA

I'm looking to see if I have the brca (breast cancer) gene or apoe (alzheimers). Does anyone know how you find those on sequencing.com? thanks for any help!

I'm not affiliated with the site, just found it interesting

Anyone have congenital factor v deficiency + Factor v leiden heterozygous = factor v leiden pseudo/homozygous?

Have Sjogrens, mildly positive APS. A 4.1 cm ascending aortic aneurysm stable since 2014.

Got sequencing dot com test after healthy brother survived DVT to PE. All the factor stuff in the high confidence report. Seeing a hematologist soon. Long time to get pg, had preeclampsia, 1 son born, passed a big clot postpartum that obgyn ignored (in the 90s)

Taking crestor, low dose niacin and daily aspirin for familial Hyperlipoproteinemia and familial hypertriglyceridemia (also in the high confidence report and known since my 20s.) and high LP(a).

Because of deranged lipids was told to never take bc pills, thankfully.

I've been born with the blood group A- (which I'm told is pretty rare). I recently learnt that this is not possible if neither of my parents have an A group themselves.

I'm worried that I might be adopted... When asked about it, my parents shift/deflect the topic. I don't have any pics of myself at the hospital either. My mom apparently somehow doesn't have a clear memory of what happened on my day of birth (neither does she remember the exact time of birth) either, which seems strange considering how special such a moment would have been for my parents. Especially because they had been (as far as I know) struggling with infertility issues for about half a decade prior to my birth.

Can someone please confirm if this blood group arrangement is biologically possible any other way?

So many health problems that develop later in life could be moderated if we only knew we were the carriers for them. And we can prep our entire being.

Title. Ive been getting super into evolution lately, and I had this thought.. Have you all heard of the game, "The Oregon Trail"? I think that it may be an allegory (narrative, picture, or artwork that uses symbolic characters, events, or settings to represent hidden, deeper meanings) for Natural selection. Any thoughts? Would anyone here be interested in speaking scientifically with me?

Hey guys. So I recently uploaded my DNA data from Ancestry to Sequencing.com and Genetic Genie with the intention of finding chromosomal information.

I've uploaded my data on DNA sites in the past to compare ethnicity results and because I was curious about genetic possibilities. However, THIS time I did so to find my sex chromosomes with no intention of looking further into genetics.

There are types of information I either avoid or would prefer not to see while navigating because it gives me anxiety. These websites will sometimes display details, even the free basic ones, the moment I upload the data. I hate seeing things I didn't choose to or having the fear of running into sensitive info by mistake.

Most genetic details get placed into categories you click on to see willfully. It's not always like that though. Where can I find my chromosomes? Which websites are best for this purpose?

Hot take: Some crimes in Japan stay unsolved… not because they can’t be solved—but because they won’t use certain DNA methods. Just like the Miyazawa Murder in Segataya.

Yep.

In Japan, privacy laws are so strict that police can’t just:

• Store DNA freely • Compare it across large databases • Or track suspects through relatives

Meanwhile in the US? Cold cases from 20–30 years ago are getting solved through DNA alone—even if the suspect never submitted theirs.

So here’s the real question:

Do you want a country that protects your DNA privacy at all costs…

or one that can solve crimes faster, even if it means your genetic data might be used indirectly?

Because you can’t fully have both.

Japan chose privacy. The US chose power.

And both come with consequences.

What would you choose? 👀

So clearly full siblings are around 50% DNA shared, half siblings are around 25% and these numbers can range, but if a result comes back as two siblings sharing 36% DNA, but there is a suspected paternal father who is the brother of the first father, wouldn't this imply they are not full siblings? Even if the father's are half brother's themselves with different fathers?

I'm not asking for paternity results or anything, I'm just curious about when we assume the lower side of the DNA is still full siblings and when we don't, especially when it comes to a sibling/cousin scenario?
