Walter Burns DNA Project
Editorial genome story of Will's father (74, prostate cancer BCR); 16 identical genotypes shared father→son.
[ WHY_IT_MATTERS ]
Demonstrates life-sciences literacy + a founder personal story; resonates with investors interested in founder DNA + healthspan.
[ OVERVIEW ]
MyHeritage 720K SNP sequencing identified 16 identical alleles shared between Will and his father, including ACTN3 (endurance), COMT Val/Val (warrior brain), and BDNF (exercise response). The site is structured as three editorial sections: "Fifty Years of Training", "Warrior Brain", and "Built to Live Long".
A PSMA-PET scan was performed May 14 (results in ~2 weeks). DNA from siblings (Nikki, Chris, Matt) is pending. Color Health expansion is queued for actionable variants.
