“The data from 23andMe helped to rule out more worrisome diagnoses and stave off more invasive treatments”. Doctors ultimately removed the clot as they took out part of his liver, and the intervention cured the fevers.

interesting, the factor v mutation has been the most useful bit in my own 23andme data too.

Researchers have identified new genetic associations for blood clots, one of the leading causes of death worldwide. On top of finding these genetic associations, this new paper also offered a model for conducting future research into this difficult-to-study condition by using self-reported data from 23andMe research participants answering questions about their own history of blood clots.
