Who (and what) I be! 23 and me DNA results
Man I’m mad they didn’t send an email…
I just happened to click in to see what the progress was and saw my results were ready!
Highlights :
Ancestry
84.2% Sub-Saharan Africa
13.1% European
1.4 East Asian & Native American
At first I thought the European part was large (the identifiable portions are Irish btw), but then I googled around and found that it isn’t after all. A lot of other Black people seemed to have 25-30% that I saw.
Heath Risks
Increased risk for Atrial Fibrillation and Breast Cancer.
The Atrial Fibrillation one was 26.4 based on the average risk of 15.9. (Yipes!)
Breast cancer was 17.3 with the average risk of 13.5.
Drug Response
Increased sensitivity to Warfarin (anticoagulant) and Phenytoin (Epilepsy Drug)…and Sulfonyluria Drug Clearance (Type 2 Diabetes Treatment) doesn’t work as well.

Interesting stuff! It predicted a lot of phenotype like my hair color and curl, eye color, height, being myopic, being thin, low birth weight, liking sweet food…
You can export your raw data and look up info in other databases as well! Can’t wait to dig in!
