Good question, but at least technically not relevant here. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ludwig_van_Beethoven

Why would DNA reveal info regarding a non-genetic condition?
zyygh t1_jddfc6q wrote
I am so glad I'm not the only one wondering this.
€10 says they figured out that he had genetic predisposition to certain liver related conditions, and that "he died from it" is pure speculation.
Edit: first paragraph, lmao.
> Genetic analysis of Ludwig van Beethoven’s hair has revealed that the composer had a high genetic risk for liver disease, which could have contributed to his death.
What a horrible title for an otherwise interesting trivia article.
Android69beepboop t1_jde9gl4 wrote
It's worse, from the article it sounds like we always knew he died of liver failure, they did an autopsy and also documented he was a hard drinker. The DNA just show he may have been predisposed to liver damage. And also may have had Hep B, which also causes liver damage.
HildegardofBingo t1_jdf8bob wrote
Yes, his DNA showed a very high genetic predisposition (96th percentile) to cirrhosis, and Hep. B viral DNA was found in his hair sample.

He had an "not specially" quantifiable risk of liver disease
Therefore that's how he died
- clickbait

I thought of Mozart initially, thinking of Amadeus. I know Beethoven is a completely different musician though.
gjon89 t1_jdcutw4 wrote
Sometimes I'll get confused too and then I'll say Mozart's full name in my head and be like, oh right different person lol

Is this comment thread some classy joke which I'm too uncultured to understand?
ayanami_reiko t1_jdfxhz9 wrote
There's a movie called Amadeus which kind of paints Mozart as a crazy party boy, not exactly sure if that's what the comment is referencing but it's what it made me think of
Admetus t1_jdg6ayg wrote
That's it, you see Mozart drinking non-stop in Amadeus so my brain immediately thought of Mozart when alcohol is involved

You were at least in the correct field. I think I saw the portait and immediately went "oh we can clone Einstein now!"

He wouldn’t listen to the doctors.
BushPlotted911 t1_jdd2q5j wrote
If the doctors were even telling him to stop drinking back then. They were probably like, "we think something might be wrong with your liver, have some cocaine and bloodletting about it."
Lonelan t1_jddy0xx wrote
Yeah if doctors told him to do cocaine and lose some blood Beethoven would be all like
"What?"
BeanerAstrovanTaco t1_jdf37dl wrote
I love going to the doctor! Not sure why but I gotta! I just have a weird compulsion to keep going back for more treatments.
Dear God am I addicted to leeches? OH no!

Something about sequencing someone’s DNA and disclosing all their potential diseases/genetic defects to the public without their consent?
