This week on the OPP, we’re decoding our genetics by analyzing 23 & Me data with Dr. Anthony Jay.
These polymorphisms (not mutations), or DNA snips are the most common variations in our genes, playing a direct in the function of those genes and serving as biological markers for certain disease risks, among other health implications.
Dr. Jay analyzes 23 & Me to investigate 3 key areas: detoxification, health risk, and athletic profile.
