New 2/4 Here.

Post by Cercatrice »

Hello everyone!

After doing a 23andme test and discovering that I had one 4 variant, I did a dive into the raw data and appear to be a 2/4. Anyone else here with that particular combination? It appears to be rare, from the research I've done today. From some of the research I've found, the 2 should be protective in theory, but it doesn't look like it's shaking out that way in practice. Anyone have any interesting research to look at, any personal experiences?

Thanks!
