XKR9 (X-Kell Blood Group Precursor-Related Family Member 9) is a gene that is part of the X-Kell blood group precursor-related family. Although its exact functions are not yet fully understood, ongoing research is exploring its possible roles in cell membrane dynamics and various physiological processes.

XKR9

DIO3, or Type 3 Deiodinase, is a crucial enzyme that helps regulate thyroid hormone activity in the body. Primarily located in tissues such as the liver, brain, and placenta, DIO3 manages thyroid hormone levels by converting active hormones into inactive forms. This process helps fine-tune hormone signaling in specific tissues, ensuring proper metabolic control and maintaining balanced thyroid function.

DIO3

CYP19A1, also known as aromatase, is an enzyme that enables the conversion of androgens (such as testosterone) into estrogens (such as estradiol). This enzyme plays a crucial role in estrogen biosynthesis, which is vital for sexual development, reproduction, bone metabolism, and cardiovascular health. CYP19A1 is expressed in various tissues, including the ovaries, testes, placenta, adipose tissue, and brain. In females, it primarily produces estrogen in the ovaries by converting androgens from the adrenal glands.

ATG12 (Autophagy Related 12) is a gene vital for the autophagy process — a cellular system that breaks down and recycles damaged components. ATG12 forms a complex with ATG5, a crucial step in forming autophagosomes. This function supports cell survival under stress and helps maintain cellular health. Disruptions in ATG12 activity have been linked to conditions such as cancer and neurodegenerative diseases.

PAPPA (Pregnancy-Associated Plasma Protein A): PAPPA is a protease that regulates the availability of insulin-like growth factors (IGFs) by cleaving their binding proteins. It plays a crucial role in fetal development and is used as a biomarker in prenatal screening for aneuploidies. Abnormal levels of PAPPA are associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including preeclampsia and intrauterine growth restriction.

PAPPA

CCDC167 (Coiled-Coil Domain Containing 167): CCDC167 is a gene that encodes a protein containing a coiled-coil domain, a structural motif known for enabling protein-protein interactions. Although its exact biological functions are still under investigation, CCDC167 may be involved in important cellular processes that have yet to be fully defined.

CCDC167

SIRT1 (Sirtuin 1): SIRT1 is a protein that belongs to the sirtuin family and regulates key cellular processes through protein deacetylation. SIRT1 plays a crucial role in promoting longevity and managing aging. It affects gene expression, supports DNA repair, and helps cells respond to stress, making it a vital factor in aging and age-related health issues.

SIRT1

PPM1F (Protein Phosphatase, Mg2+/Mn2+ Dependent 1F): PPM1F is a gene that encodes a protein phosphatase involved in the dephosphorylation of target proteins. This process is essential for regulating cellular functions such as signal transduction and cell cycle progression. PPM1F likely plays a role in fine-tuning these critical cellular activities.

PPM1F

DKK1 (Dickkopf-1) is a secreted protein that acts as an inhibitor of the Wnt signaling pathway, which plays a crucial role in regulating cell growth, development, and bone formation. By blocking Wnt interaction with its receptors, DKK1 affects processes such as cell differentiation, proliferation, and bone density. Its activity is associated with conditions like osteoporosis and various cancers, making it a potential target for therapeutic approaches.

DKK1

SRBD1 (S1 RNA Binding Domain 1) is a gene that encodes an RNA-binding protein involved in post-transcriptional regulation. These proteins play key roles in processes such as mRNA splicing, transport, and stability. Although the exact function of SRBD1 is still under study, it may help regulate gene expression at the RNA level.

SRBD1

ISL1 (ISL LIM Homeobox 1): ISL1 is a transcription factor that regulates the development and differentiation of essential tissues, including the heart, motor neurons, and sensory neurons. It plays a crucial role in guiding these cells during embryonic development and maintaining their function in adults. Mutations in ISL1 are associated with congenital heart defects and other developmental disorders.

ISL1

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.
