There was something new on 23andMe today. A report regarding two gene variants that are related to an increased chance of chronic kidney disease. Good thing I don’t have either one. I would hate to develop kidney disease or kidney failure.
Can I show this to my dialysis center? Maybe they’ll let me go home.

Sigh, I know genetics is mainly statistical. Just because you do or do not have the gene variant has no predictive value on whether an individual will develop chronic kidney disease. I actually don’t know why they bother to tell their customers when it only affects populations. What if someone sees this and cancels their kidney health screening appointment? Maybe if you have these gene variants, you should be more diligent about your kidney health?
