For all the fuss about chickens and eggs and which came first, there's one scientist who definitively contributed to our understanding of how eggs become chickens (and many other creatures). Dr. Mary Logan Reddick learned how to use chickens as a proxy for humans in studying embryonic development, leading to a number of scientific breakthroughs. To learn more about this remarkable scientist, one of our #BlackHistoryMonth heroes, check out the Helix blog (link in bio). #helixdna #genetics #science #womeninscience #blackhistory by @helix

Macular degeneration is a condition in which the center of the vision is lost in one or both eyes, which can make it difficult or impossible to accomplish tasks that require clear eyesight like reading and driving. Although environment and lifestyle are believed to contribute to the development of age-related macular degeneration, there are genetic factors as well.
Helix's DNA-powered products can help assess whether you may be at increased genetic risk for this condition. Visit the link in our bio to get started.

Ibuprofen, one of the world’s most common medications, is used for the management of pain and fever and is available over-the-counter. Although it is broadly considered safe and effective, the way your body processes ibuprofen can be affected by your DNA.

Variants in a gene called CYP2C9 can affect how quickly your body metabolizes ibuprofen, which can impact your risk for developing stomach ulcers and other conditions from ibuprofen use. Understanding your DNA can help you talk with your health care provider to reduce risks about how to manage your use of ibuprofen and other medications that are affected by CYP2C9.
