I actually don't look at it that way at all. As I've studied some of my variants, one of the things that's often present in research are things that can be done to mitigate the bad genetics. Just the possibility that this could be true has forced my hand to a healthier lifestyle. Case in point, I have two copies of the nasty 9p21 variant.
The chromosome 9p21 variant interacts with vegetable and wine intake to influence the risk of cardiovascular disease: a population based cohort study
