2. MedicareCard.com – Scientists Find Genes That Influence Brain Wave Patterns Scientists have identified new genes and pathways that influence an individual’s typical pattern of brain electrical activity, a trait that may serve as a useful surrogate marker for more genetically complex traits and diseases. One of the genes, for example, was found to be associated with alcoholism....
3. NIH Genomic Mapping Study Finds Largest Set of Genes Related to Major Risk Factor for Heart Disease Scanning the genomes of more than 100,000 people from all over the world, scientists report the largest set of genes discovered underlying high cholesterol and high triglycerides — the major risk factors for coronary heart disease, the nation’s number one killer. Taken together, the gene variants explain between a quarter and a third of the […]...
