Ashkenazi Jews are one group that fall under the umbrella of “European”, but it’s clear from numerous studies that they’re genetically unique and distinct from the European population at large.

23andMe scientists created a first of its kind genetic weight report that uses machine learning techniques to estimate BMI based on genetics and lifestyle to calculate customers genetic predisposition to weigh more or less than average. The report also provides insight into which lifestyle factors might make the biggest difference for a person’s own weight.

23andMe Joins (RED) to support the Fight Against AIDS
