不知道大家听说过 23AndMe 吗？上次我们分头前往纽约团聚，女儿给我们俩各买了一套用唾液提交基因查询的服务（不打折时单价约 200 美金）。

几周后，我的23andMe报告通过邮件发过来了。非常有意思（“挺准的”）。基因变化中包含了有两个风险：一个是随年龄增长视网膜中间有可能损伤影响视力；另一个是面筋对小肠的影响。

另一个好玩的地方是，我的肌肉构成在精英运动员中很普遍。嗨，我怎么没去干体育呢？

Age-Related Macular Degeneration

Age-related macular degeneration (AMD) is the most common cause of irreversible vision loss among older adults. The disease results in damage to the central part of the retina (the macula), impairing vision needed for reading, driving, or even recognizing faces. This test includes the two most common variants associated with an increased risk of developing the condition.

Celiac Disease

Celiac disease is an autoimmune condition in which the consumption of gluten (found in wheat, barley, and rye) can result in damage to the small intestine. Celiac disease can lead to both digestive and non-digestive problems. This test includes two common variants associated with an increased risk of developing this condition.
