Variants in CYP1A2 gene makes you either a fast metabolizer (who might not feel anything after coffee), or a slow metabolizer (who could feel jittery after drinking the same amount of coffee).

Genetic variations in CYP2C9 can affect your body's metabolism of certain medications like warfarin and ibuprofen.

Did you know that the ability and speed of your muscles to repair themselves is primarily genetic?

Some genetic disorders are recessive (inherit two defective recessive alleles of a gene, one from each parent). You can find out if you are a carrier of certain genetic disorders (only have 1 recessive allele).

Certain genetic variations (like PPARG, APOA2) are associated to sensitivity to fat, hence you might be more responsive to low fat diets if you want to lose weight.

Your genes can tell you more about your family history, and more specifically where your ancestors might originate from.
