Unraveling the Link Between APOE, Cholesterol, and Diet
Apo E is a protein that helps regulate cholesterol metabolism. The APOE gene, which codes for Apo E, has three common variants: E2, E3, and E4. These genetic differences can influence an individual's baseline cholesterol levels and their response to dietary changes.
Genetic Variants for Gluten Intolerance
Gluten intolerance affects 1% of the global population. NCGS involves gluten-related symptoms without the autoimmune response, and its genetic basis is less clear. A gluten-free diet is the primary treatment for both conditions, with alternative therapies like probiotics and digestive enzymes potentially providing additional support.
Genetic Risk for Lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus (Lupus) is a chronic disease that causes inflammation in the tissues that provide strength and flexibility to structures throughout the body. The signs and symptoms of Lupus vary among affected individuals and can involve many organs and systems, including the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, and the central nervous system.
Genetic Risk for Panic Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder
Panic disorder, a form of anxiety disorder, is characterized by recurrent, unexpected panic attacks. These episodes, akin to emotional whirlwinds, can involve intense fear, palpitations, sweating, and a sense of impending doom. In the United States, about 2-3% of the population may experience panic disorder in a given year, with women twice as likely to be affected as men.
Genetic Risk for Classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome
EDS is a group of inherited conditions primarily affecting the connective tissues, the body's natural 'glue' that holds everything together. These tissues provide strength and elasticity to our skin, joints, and blood vessels. But what happens when this 'glue' isn't as sticky as it should be? This is precisely the case with EDS. Classical Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (cEDS) is a rare form of Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome. It is estimated to affect around 1 in 20,000 to 50,000 people worldwide.
MTHFR Mutations and Chronic Fatigue Syndrome
Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME), is a complex, long-term illness characterized by extreme fatigue that doesn't improve with rest and can't be explained by an underlying medical condition. The exact cause of this disorder remains largely unknown, but recent research has begun to explore a potential connection with a common genetic mutation in the MTHFR gene.
