jn 1 variant - #13854

Sai

I am really stressed out about my recent genetic testing. My doctor mentioned I have the jn 1 variant, and I honestly don’t know what that means for me. A few weeks ago, I started feeling these weird pains in my side, just achy and random, and I thought it was no big deal. I brushed it off thinking maybe I was just overdoing it at the gym or something. But when I went for my routine check-up, my doctor said, “Let’s do some genetic testing.” When the results came back showing I have this jn 1 variant, I was totally blindsided. My family has a history of health issues but nothing that I ever thought would apply to me. Now I’m sitting here wondering what the jn 1 variant means exactly. Is it serious? I’ve read some things online, but it gets super technical and honestly kind of freaks me out more! Should I be doing something specific to manage it? What are the chances it’ll affect my health down the line? Plus, why did the doctor even test for this thing in the first place? I just feel lost and could really use some clarity from you guys!
