I have a -20 and -80s worth and then 2 four degrees ..but some things are more precious than others. I can likely put most in the -20 temp and ship plugged in? Not sure yet..ideas?

Hi! It’s tough to know if this will make the payline. My first submission was scored at 216 and not funded and second submission was funded at a 144 but I have NO idea what their paylines are currently w all the changes. Sorry I’m not more helpful

It’s HLAB27 (Human leukocyte antigen B27) the gene strongly associated with ankylosing spondylitis (axial spondylitis) patients ..hope that answers your question
