Fitting In Your Genes

In my A&P class, we are currently studying genetics. I'm fascinated by anything to do with genetics although the intricacies of DNA are a bit overwhelming. I enjoy seeing if I can tell what a person's ancestry is by looking at them and may delve into this a bit. I'm also interested in genetic abnormalities. I know that I have a couple. Bipolar disorder is caused by a mutation, I believe on the 15th chromosome. I also have a mild nonspecific neurological disorder that may or may not be related and when I'm very tired will lead to facial tics and muscle jerking. I have a blog all about abnormal psych issues and will tend to stick to physical issues here, and sometimes the two will overlap. I'm hoping that this will be a fun and interesting if somewhat sporadic project!
