I carry variants in PYGM and LPIN1—genes linked to metabolic conditions. I'm just a carrier. Most carriers never have symptoms.
But I've had rhabdomyolysis multiple times since my twenties. Muscle breakdown, hospitalisations, CK in the tens of thousands. And doctors can't tell me exactly why.
Both variants are classified as VUS, variants of unknown significance. The genetic equivalent of a shrug.
I'm a cycling coach, sport science student, and I race at national level. A month ago, rhabdo came back. I wasn't even training—I was walking to a train station.
In this video: what rhabdo actually is, my genetic situation, the history, and how I'm approaching return to training and racing now.
If you carry VUS variants or you're dealing with something similar, I'd like to hear from you.
