a gwas paper says a certain snp is common in a disease. but in a family like ours, that same 'risk' snp might just be the one that gave my grandfather his thick hair and long life. the map they draw is too small for our roads.
i know because i tried to use one for a client with the 'joint pain' snp, but his real kazari came from working in the cold storages since he was fourteen. the gene just lit the match; the life poured the petrol.
so for an indian person, it means less than the toddy bottle my avo drinks every sunday without a single 'bad' gene to his name. he’s ninety.
