It's not in any reports. You have to click the "Browse Raw Data" in the dropdown menu under your name. Then put rs2075650 in the search box and read the results. "G" is the minor allele.

Transposable elements, aka "Jumping genes" a trigger in brain inflammation

Beyond viral infection as a trigger to Alzheimers, we now may also have "jumping genes." Alzheimer's disease and progressive supranuclear palsy are marked by toxic deposits of a protein called tau. Their research found that tau-induced "jumping genes" -- which can relocate or cop...

Re: Prodrome blood test results, initial and over time

Do you know the advantages of taking Citicoline versus Phosphatidylcholine? I think it depends on what your goals are. Choline gets metabolized differently depending on your body's needs. For example, I'm post-menopausal and have PEMT variants that suggest that Phosphatidylcholine (skipping the PEM...

Re: Very Good Peter Attia podcast

Do you know if these additional snips are reported in 23 and Me? I did not listen to the podcast, but here is a recent research article about those genes. From: Definitive roles of TOMM40-APOE-APOC1 variants in the Alzheimer's risk (2022) We report the remarkably high excesses of the AD risk for ca...

Re: My year of anxiety and insomnia

Sadly, either mental illness (depression and anxiety) which I am suffering from for many years or perimenopause or my hashimotos has gotten the best of me last year and I have had the most terrible year of my life. I am so sorry that you've had a terrible year. Hugs to you. If I might make a sugges...

Re: What Causes Alzheimer's? (Quanta Magazine)

If you find yourself skimming, I recommend searching within the article for "lysosome". Great article and definitely a very understandable description of the endosome/lysosome work. Good to see this comment, because it's so different than the prevailing research views in early days of thi...

Re: Request for thoughts on treating depression. Depression is linked to dementia, but anti-depression drugs are too

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) seems to be a good place to start for most people. The cognitive and behavioral interventions (if adequately implemented) can be as efficacious as medications in the treatment of even more severe depression (DeRubeis et al., 2005; Dimidjian et al., 2006) and have a...

Re: Still so worried about sleep

So I will try to get a doctor to explain the blood sugar. Not every general doctor will understand what's going on. Two things to for you to look at, the dawn phenomenon and the Somogyi effect. This article from WebMd is aimed at diabetics, but has some basic information about the difference betwee...
