Signs You Have Rare DNA — Transcript

1. 0:00Hey children, here are seven signs
2. 0:02you've got rare genetic mutations.
3. 0:04Number seven, mosquitoes don't bite you.
4. 0:07You're at a summer barbecue, the sun's
5. 0:09shining, friends are out, and the
6. 0:11mosquitoes are having a buffet.
7. 0:12Everyone's slapping themselves silly,
8. 0:14doing the slap dance, itching like
9. 0:16crazy, except for you. You're just
10. 0:18chilling, wondering why your friends are
11. 0:20suddenly swatting air like they've lost
12. 0:22their minds. Well, it turns out you've
13. 0:24got a secret weapon, your DNA. The
14. 0:27ABCCC11 gene isn't just there to mess
15. 0:29with your sweat glands. It's the reason
16. 0:31you're basically invisible to
17. 0:33mosquitoes. Your body doesn't release
18. 0:35the usual chemical signals that scream
19. 0:37dinnertime to these blood suckers. It's
20. 0:40like having a built-in mosquito force
21. 0:42field. No bug spray, no fancy gadgets,
22. 0:45just your genes quietly saying not
23. 0:47today. Number six, you don't smell bad.
24. 0:50You know how some people can work out,
25. 0:51walk through the heat, or dance at a
26. 0:53party, and somehow they just don't
27. 0:55smell. No deodorant, no sweat patches,
28. 0:58just fresh like a mountain breeze. Well,
29. 1:01they've got a special twist in their
30. 1:02genes, the ABCC11 mutation. Here's how
31. 1:06it works. Normally, apocryine glands in
32. 1:09our skin produce a proteinrich sweat
33. 1:11that bacteria love to munch on. That's
34. 1:13where body odor comes from. Basically,
35. 1:15bacteria stink party. But in people with
36. 1:17this mutation, these glands barely
37. 1:19produce any of that sweat. The result,
38. 1:22no sweat for the bacteria, no bacteria,
39. 1:25no stink. Well, actually, the secret is
40. 1:27in your dry, crumbly ear wax. You read
41. 1:30that right. The ABCC11 mutation not only
42. 1:34makes you smell free, but also gives you
43. 1:36dry ear wax. So, if you're sporting
44. 1:38that, congratulations. You're in the no
45. 1:41odor club. Of course, don't expect
46. 1:43superpowers. It's not going to stop you
47. 1:45from getting sweaty palms or a shiny
48. 1:47forehead, but it does mean your armpits
49. 1:50aren't throwing a stink parade every
50. 1:51time you step outside. Number five, you
51. 1:54have the nose of a blood hound. You ever
52. 1:56walk into a room and just know someone
53. 1:58microwaved fish 2 hours ago? Meanwhile,
54. 2:02everyone else is like, "I don't smell
55. 2:04anything." Congratulations. You might
56. 2:06have one of the most overpowered
57. 2:08sniffers in the game. We're talking
58. 2:10about hyperosmia. It's not just good
59. 2:12smelling. It's someone changed shampoo
60. 2:14and I can smell their trauma level. Your
61. 2:17nose isn't a scent detector. It's a
62. 2:19full-blown forensic lab. You don't just
63. 2:21smell dinner. You detect the seasoning.
64. 2:24This is because of mutations in your O2
65. 2:26J3 or related olfactory receptor genes.
66. 2:29Your nose has more active sensors than
67. 2:31most people. And your brain is just
68. 2:33better at processing all that smell
69. 2:35traffic. And yeah, it's not all roses.
70. 2:38You walk past a trash bin and get hit
71. 2:40with a wave of memories you didn't ask
72. 2:42for. Public transport, torture, and
73. 2:46perfume counters might as well be tear
74. 2:48gas. Number four, you don't need much
75. 2:51sleep. We all have the one friend who
76. 2:53barely sleeps, wakes up before the sun,
77. 2:56and somehow manages to be annoyingly
78. 2:58productive. Or maybe you are that
79. 3:01friend. Turns out it might not just be
80. 3:03caffeine or stress keeping you up. It
81. 3:05could be your genes. The DEEC2 mutation,
82. 3:08the tiny genetic twist that makes your
83. 3:10brain think, "Sleep? Who needs it?"
84. 3:13People with this mutation naturally
85. 3:15require way less sleep, sometimes just 4
86. 3:19to 6 hours a night, while the rest of us
87. 3:21stumble around like sleepd deprived
88. 3:23zombies. It's 2 a.m. and while everyone
89. 3:26else is snoring away, you're wide awake,
90. 3:28reorganizing your closet, binge watching
91. 3:31documentaries, or contemplating the
92. 3:33meaning of life. Then at 6:00 a.m.,
93. 3:36you're fresh as a daisy, already halfway
94. 3:38through your to-do list while your
95. 3:40friends are still drooling into their
96. 3:42pillows. But don't get too cocky. This
97. 3:45isn't a superpower to push. Chronic
98. 3:47sleep deprivation still messes with
99. 3:49people's health, even if your genes let
100. 3:51you get away with it for a while. It's
101. 3:53like being blessed with a high-speed
102. 3:54car, but still needing to refuel
103. 3:56eventually. Number three, you have
104. 3:59unbreakable bones. Ever trip over a
105. 4:01crack in the sidewalk and think, "I'm
106. 4:03about to break my wrist." But somehow
107. 4:06you walk away without a scratch. Maybe
108. 4:08you've got a secret. It's called the
109. 4:10LRP5 mutation, and it makes your bones
110. 4:13so dense and strong, they're basically
111. 4:15reinforced concrete. Doctors who've seen
112. 4:18LRP5 mutants call their bones denser
113. 4:21than most people's hopes and dreams.
114. 4:23Medical scans look like you've got steel
115. 4:25rods inside. Even dentists get nervous
116. 4:28drilling your teeth. And the best part,
117. 4:30this isn't something you can train for.
118. 4:32It's written in your DNA. Number two,
119. 4:35you can't feel pain. You're at a winter
120. 4:37festival. The air is freezing. People
121. 4:40are bundled up in scarves and gloves,
122. 4:42shivering like penguins. And there you
123. 4:44are just chilling like it's a mild
124. 4:46spring afternoon. You're munching on ice
125. 4:48cream, wearing a t-shirt, and everyone's
126. 4:51staring at you. The thing is, you don't
127. 4:53just resist the cold. You don't feel
128. 4:55pain like at all. We're talking about
129. 4:58CIPA or congenital insensitivity to pain
130. 5:01with anhydrosis. This ultra rare
131. 5:03mutation messes with the nerve signals
132. 5:05that tell your body, "Hey, this hurts
133. 5:07and hey, you're overheating." Think
134. 5:09about how this would work in real life.
135. 5:11You stub your toe on the coffee table,
136. 5:13no flinch. Cut your finger while
137. 5:15cooking, nothing. Fall off your
138. 5:18skateboard, just brush it off and keep
139. 5:20going. Sounds like a superpower, right?
140. 5:23But here's the catch. Pain exists for a
141. 5:25reason. It's your body's warning system.
142. 5:28Without it, injuries can go unnoticed
143. 5:30and become dangerous. And as if that
144. 5:33wasn't enough, the same gene makes it
145. 5:35hard to sweat. That means you could
146. 5:36overheat easily, especially during a
147. 5:38workout or on a scorching day. Imagine
148. 5:41running a marathon and your body just
149. 5:44forgetting to turn on the AC. So, while
150. 5:47CIPA sounds cool, literally, it's a
151. 5:50double-edged sword. No pain, no sweat,
152. 5:54but a constant risk of not knowing when
153. 5:56your body's in trouble. Number one, the
154. 5:58golden blood. You walk into a blood
155. 6:00donation center thinking you're just
156. 6:02doing your bit, but the staff suddenly
157. 6:04gets wideeyed. Whispers start flying and
158. 6:07they're treating you like you're
159. 6:08carrying the philosophers stone. Turns
160. 6:11out you've got RH null blood, the rarest
161. 6:14blood type on Earth. It's the rarest
162. 6:16genetic mutation in the world, so it's
163. 6:19called the golden blood. Why? Because
164. 6:22it's like the universal donor of the
165. 6:24blood world. People with Rhnol blood can
166. 6:27donate to anyone with rare Rh negative
167. 6:29blood types, making it life-saving for
168. 6:32those with blood compatibility issues.
169. 6:34But here's the catch. Rhn null folks can
170. 6:37only receive Rhnull blood in return.
171. 6:40It's like having a platinum credit card
172. 6:42for others, but when you need help, only
173. 6:44one tiny VIP club can assist you. A club
174. 6:47so exclusive there are believed to be
175. 6:49only around 50 known people worldwide
176. 6:51with this blood type. So next time you
177. 6:54see a blood drive poster, imagine the
178. 6:56hidden legends like you who are quietly
179. 6:58saving lives with every drop. If you
