Subscribe David Mendosa Thursday, October 04, 2007 View All of David Mendosa's Posts DNA Direct , a privately funded company in San Francisco, offers the test of this gene that can lead to diabetes. An Icelandic company named deCode Genetics discovered the gene. DNA Direct has a contractual relationship with deCode. The test works, so it passed my beta test. You might say, however, that I failed it, because the test show that I am genetically at risk of having diabetes by carrying two copies of the variant. If I were planning on raising a family, this knowledge would be even more important. If I were married and if my wife also tested positive for the diabetes gene, we might think twice about having children. When both parents have two copies each of diabetes gene, their children are at a greater risk than when one parent has it. | |
