[DIYbio] Genetic Superpowers

The conversation earlier this week about genetic variants related to the trait of absolute pitch got me wondering whether people on the list have other favorite "superpowers" w/ known genetic variants associated with them.

For example,

  1. Norovirus resistance and FUT2 W154X
  2. Extra strong bones and LRP5
  3. Lean muscle and MSTN double null (see cases like bodybuilder Flex Wheelerdogs that look like bodybuilders and others)
  4. Greatly reduced heart disease and PCSK9

Any other favorite superpowers w/ associated genetic variants?
