While being conserved among vertebrates, AMPD1 seems to have become less functionally important among Neanderthals and modern humans.

And if so, could we even get access to this kind of testing?
Because of multiple hereditary autoimmune symptoms + PEM, I'd love to see what our family's genes look like.
