User:PersonalGenotypingExperiment/Very Rough Draft

1. Listing symptoms, disease and traits
Primarily complaint is mood disorders, dysregulation of mood and arousal.


 * High IQ
 * Anxiety
 * Depression
 * Circadian Rhythm disturbance
 * Cushingoid features

2. Family History
Conditions are clearly familial (but familial doesn't automatically imply genetic).
 * High IQ-- both parents
 * Anxiety-- mother, mothers parents and siblings
 * Depression-- both parents, mother's father
 * Circadian Rhythm disturbance - father only

Rough Summary of what to look for
In the 23andme data, I will be most interest in SNPs in genes:
 * have been linked in published literature to my symptoms or my diagnoses
 * encode for signaling molecules or receptors, especially those tied to mood or arousal
 * implicated in the interregulation of limbic, hypothalamic, pituitary, adrenals, gonads system
 * implicated in regulation of neurogenesis
 * implicated in epigenetic regulation of other implicated genes.

This is a very rough draft leaving out much, but it documents the rough search strategy i'll employ.
