30 Times People Lost The Gene Lottery, According To This Viral Thread

Likely Alzheimer's.

Both gamma's had it, my mom has it and I'm in my early fifties and starting to feel the beginning of decline.

Frankly, I'm scared s***less.

A very rare recessive progressive genetic disorder. I'm a carrier. My wife also is a carrier. Incidence of being a carrier is over 1 in 1,000,000. Unfortunately for our kids, they have a 1/2 chance of being carriers, 1/4 chance that they won't, and 1/4 chance that they'll inherit the double recessive gene and manifest the disorder. 2 out of our 4 kids have manifested the disorder and their life expectancy is 10-12 years.

Life sucker punches everyone.

Teeth. I brush using an electric toothbrush for 2 minutes twice a day using prescription toothpaste, I floss twice a day, I've had braces and I floss under the permanent retainers once a day, I wear my night retainer every night and clean it every morning, have a dedicated tongue brusher and scraper that I use as needed, I go to the dentist twice a year and get fluoride treatments, I don't drink soda or eat excessive sugar, and I still have cavities.

I had to get a root canal that ended up failing (missed by the guy who did the root canal and 3 separate dentists) and when the cap eventually rotted off I had to get an implant which got infected, then got infected again, then was deemed chronically infected and had to be removed.

Now my wisdom teeth are acting up and need to be removed.

I am so f*****g sick of putting in so much time, energy, and money to be *below par* with most of the rest of the world

I'm only 33

My parents met in their 20s, bonded over how they both have shitty circulation and everyone in their families has shitty circulation, and were like ‘I know, let’s breed!’.
Went as you’d expect.

Hair on every inch of my body except for the top of my head

Short, acne, small tits, crooked teeth and underdeveloped/too far back jaw (they got mostly fixed with braces), thin hair, mental illness, scoliosis, tiny toes (what the f**k is up with that, I get too many comments about my baby feet)

Can't think of anything else atm

It's like I won the reverse genetic bingo. If this was medieval times I would definitely be the repulsive town witch

Wdit: oh right, forgot IBS

Lynch Syndrome. I am on my third round of (different each time) cancer.

The gift of over thinking (anxiety)

excessive sweating

Starving myself and still being fat

Half of my face has my moms bone structure, the other half my dad. Come on, evolution, I thought this was all about symmetry.

OH and they both have addictive personalities which makes substance abuse almost instinctive. Luckily I was a pothead instead of an alcoholic or pill popper. We’re all doing better now LMAO!

No male in my family line has ever lived over 53 years old. I went through our family graveyard to verify this is true back to the 1860’s.

My family do not like me mentioning it. I am 38 now and have fully accepted my genetic fate.

My wife says it not a big deal but I always tell her she would be freaking out if she started to lose her hair too. Hair means just as much to men as it does to women. Confidence killer.

Two of my sons have muscular dystrophy. That's about as shitty as it gets.

Severe acne when I was a teen that left behind scars.

My grandma's large chest. Have a lot of back pain now and everything hurts. Getting a bit of them removed in a few years👍

I'm slowly going blind from RP. Thanks mom. My spinal discs are deflating and pinching off my nerves, Thanks dad.

It's alcoholics all the way down

Being unusually hairy, oily, and large framed for a woman. It's a thing with my family, none of the women in it are exactly the picture of traditional feminine beauty. I have to wear guys sizes in shoes because my feet are too wide for most women's shoes.

Terrible teeth. Extra long roots, extra root points, an extra row. UGH.
