YOUR GENOTYPE RESULTS

Gene Your Genetype Description
FOXP3 AA Normal
TSLP CC Normal
IL13 AA Increased risk of allergic rhinitis
TNF-α CT Increased risk of allergic rhinitis
HLA-DQA1 GG Normal
HLA-DQB1 TT Normal
ADAM33 CG Increased risk of allergic rhinitis
IL4 TT Normal
EPS15 CC Normal
MS4A2_ GG Reduced risk of allergic rhinitis
MS4A2_ intron GG Normal

RECOMMENDATIONS

Your genotypes indicate that you may develop allergic rhinitis (AR).

LIFESTYLE

The development of AR is dependent on genetic and environmental factors. Carpets and mattresses may contain a large number of mites, fungi, and dust, which are common allergens implicated in AR. Frequent vacuuming is necessary, preferably with a vacuum cleaner tted with a lter, e.g., a high- ef ciency particulate air (HEPA) lter, designed for allergens. If you have seasonal or pollen allergies, you need to avoid owering plants with affecting pollen, and when indoors, use an air conditioner instead of leaving the windows open. Using a dehumidi er or a HEPA lter can also help you control your allergies while indoors.

YOUR GENOTYPE RESULTS

Gene Your Genetype Description
NPPA AG 0.5x reduced risk for asthma
PTSG2 GG Normal
ORMDL3 CC 0.69x lower risk of childhood asthma

RECOMMENDATIONS

Your genotypes indicate that you have a lower possibility to develop asthma.

LIFESTYLE

  • Use an air conditioner to reduce your exposure to dust mites and outdoor pollutants and allergens such as pollen.
  • Use a humidi er or dehumidi er to keep humidity in your home at optimal levels.
  • Vacuum and clean your house regularly to eliminate fungi, spores, and other indoor allergens.

DIET

Consume the following foods with nutrients that may help support lung functions:

  • Vitamin D-rich foods, such as milk and egg.
  • Beta carotene-rich vegetables, such as carrots and leafy greens.
  • Magnesium-rich foods, such as spinach and pumpkin seeds.

YOUR GENOTYPE RESULTS

Gene Your Genetype Description
WWC1 CC Reduced episodic memory performance
SCN1A AC Poor short-term memory performance

RECOMMENDATIONS

Your genotypes indicate that you have a tendency to have poor memory. Below are some recommendations for improving your memory.

LIFESTYLE

  • Getting 8 hours of sleep is not an indulgence. It is critical for your health and mental well-being. Lack of quality sleep will impair your memory, creativity, judgment, and attention. This is also when your brain moves memories from short-term storage into long-term storage, clearing the deck for the next day.
  • Cardiovascular exercise improves short-term memory and prevents deterioration of the hippocampus, the brain’s primary memory centre. It is believed that 20 minutes of low intensity exercise per day can help to improve memory.
