Do you suspect that even Billy Mack is considering a change to “Genes are all around you” in everyone’s favorite holiday movie, Love Actually? Well, that won’t be a surprise as Christmas and genetics have more in common than you think – and scientists are even working on figuring out Santa’s genetic make-up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003C!--more-->\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Gene-edited Christmas trees and Santa’s DNA\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>If it’s all in our genes, the explanation for the Grinch hating the holidays or Santa’s incredible working capacity around the end of December must have its roots in their DNA. Researchers armored with the latest advances in genome sequencing managed to get their hands on tiny samples from Santa, and carefully analyzed what makes him able to carry millions of gifts on a reindeer sleigh or to decide which kid was naughty or nice. \u003Cstrong>Experts found that the red-hatted Ho-ho-ho-sayer has \u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cstrong>\u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.coolantarctica.com\u002Fschools\u002Fsanta_claus_genetics.php\">a similar genetic makeup to everyone else, except the 3 extra chromosomes – known as Trisomy 25 – (for the 25th of December)\u003C\u002Fa>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003Cstrong>. A generously sized turkey, a holly leaf and a Christmas fairy – these unusually shaped chromosomes are in large part responsible for Santa’s unique DNA make-up and his power known as ‘Christmas magic’\u003C\u002Fstrong>.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>However, if you think that knowing Santa’s genetic makeup is just an arbitrary fun fact and you are fretting about British scientists not having anything better to do, we are telling you that knowing the secrets of your genes could actually make your holidays better.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>For starters, let’s look at the Christmas tree. The end of the holidays is usually marked by three things: the beginning of the January treadmill, running out of food – and the dead needles of the pines all over the apartment. It’s a devastating sight – especially if it happens three days after the purchase of the tree. That’s why \u003Cstrong>scientists are mapping out how the pines, especially the most popular one, the Fraser fir, will remain green as long as possible or which genes are responsible for the fast fall of needles.

That’s the pain-point of every family with three children, four grandparents, three uncles, six cousins and a dog named Marvin – well, of course, before losing Kevin at the airport as the family heads for a vacation in Paris. But for now, let’s just focus on the dinner. Wouldn’t it be better to know whom you should definitely serve some coffee to keep them awake until the end of the five courses or who should avoid alcohol at any cost – so that the entire table could spare the fights around politics? Some families gather this social knowledge for years – although, in theory, all you really need is a genetic test and the advances of nutrigenomics.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>\u003Cstrong>The scientific field combining genetics with food science looks at your genetic makeup and how it affects the way your body processes food. It’s about how your unique biology interacts with the food you consume. It is the answer to why some people cannot drink coffee after 6 pm otherwise they cannot sleep; and why others might have some double espresso at 11 pm and snooze as if nothing happened around midnight\u003C\u002Fstrong>. The same about alcohol: some might metabolize it faster and more efficiently than others, so they can drink more and have less painful hangovers (yes, I hate them, too).\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Now, imagine that your entire extended family had a genetic test – and you, the host of the family Christmas dinner, know exactly beforehand what you should and shouldn’t serve to every one of your guests.

As described on the \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cancer.gov\u002Fabout-cancer\u002Fcauses-prevention\u002Fgenetics\u002Fbrca-fact-sheet\">website of the US National Cancer Institute\u003C\u002Fa>, BRCA1 and BRCA2 are genes producing tumor suppressor proteins, which help repair damaged DNA. When either of these genes is mutated or altered, such that its protein product either is not made or does not function correctly, DNA damage may not be repaired properly. As a result, cells are more likely to develop additional genetic alterations that can lead to cancer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Together, BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations account for \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cancer.gov\u002Fabout-cancer\u002Fcauses-prevention\u002Fgenetics\u002Fbrca-fact-sheet#r2\">about 20-25 percent of hereditary breast cancers; and about 5-10 percent of all breast cancers\u003C\u002Fa>, which means a quite elevated risk. These numbers are even higher in the case of ovarian cancers: mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 account for \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cancer.gov\u002Fabout-cancer\u002Fcauses-prevention\u002Fgenetics\u002Fbrca-fact-sheet#r3\">15 percent of that cancer type overall\u003C\u002Fa>. Looking at prostate cancer cases, \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fprostatecanceruk.org\u002Fabout-us\u002Fnews-and-views\u002F2013\u002F8\u002Fbrca-genes-myth-busters\">Prostate Cancer UK\u003C\u002Fa> found that only 0.44 percent and 1.2 percent of such cases carry mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 respectively. So, while the risk of prostate cancer increases with these mutations, most of the prostate cancer cases are not linked to BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations. That’s one of the reasons why I decided that instead of me undergoing the Dante Labs genetic test, I will ask an enthusiastic female volunteer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch1 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-16210\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fbrca-genetic-testing.jpg\" alt=\"BRCA genetic test\" width=\"3542\" height=\"1992\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fbrca-genetic-testing.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fbrca-genetic-testing-370x208.jpg 370w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fbrca-genetic-testing-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fbrca-genetic-testing-512x288.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fbrca-genetic-testing-445x250.jpg 445w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 3542px) 100vw, 3542px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh1>\n\n\n\n\u003Ch2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">\u003Cstrong>Should everyone rush to get a BRCA genetic test?\u003C\u002Fstrong>\u003C\u002Fh2>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Before going into the details how Dante Labs’ test performed, I must set some things straight. As every other genetic test, also the pioneering BRCA tests cannot tell anyone for sure whether they will get cancer in the future, it only talks about risks. No matter that the method was already \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.statnews.com\u002F2016\u002F11\u002F29\u002Fbrca-cancer-myriad-genetic-tests\u002F\">introduced in 1996\u003C\u002Fa>, new studies come along every year which might change what the test results mean. That’s why it is very important to interpret the results appropriately, with the help of a genetic counselor. Moreover, the Stanford Cancer Institute created an \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fbrcatool.stanford.edu\u002F\">online decision tool for women\u003C\u002Fa> to help them analyze cancer risks. It is especially important since such irreversible medical procedures might follow as removing ovaries or breasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>Also, I would rather recommend the test for those in whose families breast cancer is already present; as harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations can be inherited from a person’s mother or father. The US National Cancer Institute says that a child of a parent who carries a mutation in one of these genes has a 50 percent chance (or 1 chance in 2) of inheriting the mutation. Luckily, you can already assess online with various risk calculators e.g. \u003Ca href=\"https:\u002F\u002Fwww.cancer.gov\u002Fbcrisktool\u002F\">here\u003C\u002Fa> or \u003Ca href=\"http:\u002F\u002Fbrca.ovarian.org.uk\u002F\">here\u003C\u002Fa> whether you might even carry BRCA risks before testing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>But if you find out that you might have an elevated risk for having harmful BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, you can take a genetic test at several laboratories.

When we looked at the results with our anonymous test person, we actually looked into two documents. The first .pdf provides a basic description of the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes and a very detailed scientific explanation of the results with all kinds of specific indicators and markings, which was very difficult to make sense of. I had to ask for the help of a genetic counselor to understand whether the findings have any risks.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>On the other hand, the second .pdf included an explanation in plain language about the possible consequences of the findings. According to which, our anonymous tester has a 12-13 percent risk of developing breast and ovarian cancer during her lifetime. It is considered to be equal to that of a woman in the general population.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>I appreciated Dante Labs approach towards the results, though. They acknowledge that these results are never definitive as they only represent the current stage of science. The company specified in the results that they found some “unusual change” or “variant” classified as of unknown significance. This means that there is a portion of the gene that looks different from the way it’s normally expected to be. However, researchers haven’t confirmed whether this variant is a harmless change or a risk factor. Dante Labs reaffirmed that these variants remain on a “watch list” as researchers collect information to determine whether people who have it are at increased cancer risk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cfigure class=\"wp-block-image\">\u003Cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"870\" height=\"471\" src=\"https:\u002F\u002F1712507217.rsc.cdn77.org\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fdante-labs-brca-analysis.jpg\" alt=\"BRCA genetic test\" class=\"wp-image-16217\" srcset=\"https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fdante-labs-brca-analysis.jpg 870w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fdante-labs-brca-analysis-768x416.jpg 768w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fdante-labs-brca-analysis-512x277.jpg 512w, https:\u002F\u002Fcdn.medicalfuturist.com\u002Fwp-content\u002Fuploads\u002F2017\u002F08\u002Fdante-labs-brca-analysis-458x248.jpg 458w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 870px) 100vw, 870px\" \u002F>\u003C\u002Ffigure>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp> \u003C\u002Fp>\n\n\n\n\u003Cp>All in all, the Dante Labs BRCA testing process is easy coupled with fast sampling.
