Wow, it's a lot older than I thought.

I'm homozygous for CCR5-delta32. It probably saved my life because I sowed my wild oats in the 1980's. It does have some downsides and I'm certainly not resistant to most viruses. It is a flaw in the immune system, after all, but HIV attacks the immune system.

Also a carrier of cystic fibrosis. That one supposedly protects against typhoid.
