Day 182- Gene testing

Last night i went for a volunteer gene testing experience.

I was chosen by the regie de l'assurance maladie du Quebec for a 50 year reaserch programm.
Was pretty interesting and the nurse was so nice she explained everything to me in details

ie high blood pressure readings and all etc,.,

Did blood tests and urine test. Bone density and so on.

Then they will analyse the tests and they look for markers to see if you have certain genes prone to develop certain sickness or cancer and why, is it hereditary, is it your eay of life, is it the environement???? Who knows.

If they find something major like cancer or something then they will call to advise me to go see a physician asap.

Which i really hope they don't!

Plus gotta a snack and 50$ for my time.

Not too bad Now will watch Big Brother and then bed time!
