Curious how many have done exome test (genetic sequencing of ones entire exone, the genetic material that creates proteins) If i can get 20 or more, i might be abke to do something with them
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!

KIT mutations are linked to some mast cell illnesses.Exome testing is more common than full genome sequencing. The data files are alot smaller because youre only doing the exomes - and as a result alot cheaper too (exome tests 40 million positions and whole genome 3 billion positions so 75 times bigger)
It woukdnt be through medical testing but rather direct to consumer, much like one would order a 23 and me test - just more data than 23 and me ((which only sequences between 250,000 and 1 million positions depending on when a person tested. ). Exome testing sequencesas i mentioned above total about about 40 million so at least 40 times more data than 23 and me)
Especially interested at the moment in those who also appear to have a mast cell issue like MCAS.
I have MCAS and don’t have Kit mutation (did a separate test before)I don't yet but I will and have mcas. I'll get back to you when I have my results
It helped to understand why my immune very low for whole life, and why a whole life I was fighting with an infections@zaika11 how did you interpret yours?
