Venous thromboembolism.
Had my DNA scanned, and I noted that their average lifetime risk for this was 12%, which is pretty high for a life threatening condition.

I'm at 12.8% risk for venous thromboembolism and the average (for "men of European ethnicity") is 12.3%.
Surely the difference is below the noise level of whatever data were used to get these figures? I make it about 0.16 millibits of Kullback-Leibler divergence, and upwards of 10,000 data points to have any chance of seeing the difference experimentally.
