A new study reported on the 23andme blog shows a link between cocaine-induced paranoia and the SNP rs9387522. Turns out that I have the TT variation of this gene, which correlates with increased odds of cocaine-induced paranoia.
Guess I better stay away from cocaine.
I find this to be a problem with many (most?) of the conclusions I get from my 23andme results. So far most of the actionable consequences of my genes tell me to avoid behavior that my mother taught me long ago was bad anyway. Although I’m glad I took the test, and I eagerly look for a reason to recommend the test to others, so far I haven’t found many examples of why I think you should pay $300 to see your results.
