Your Genes Matter More For Lifespan Now Than They Did A Century Ago - Here's Why
A new study published in Science has challenged this view, suggesting the genetic contribution might be considerably higher.

Gene Mutation Behind Different COVID-19 Death Rates Among Indian States: Study
Variation in a genetic mutation among Indians may be the main reason behind the difference in the death rates due to COVID-19 across various states of the country, says a study that could inform new policies for controlling the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Decoded: Why People Love To Have Coffee Or Beer
Scientists have found that taste preferences for bitter or sweet beverages are not based on variations in our taste genes but rather genes related to the psychoactive properties of these beverages.

Genetic Risk Factor For Erectile Dysfunction Identified
In a first, researchers have found a specific place in the human genome that raises a person's risk of erectile dysfunction.Researchers from the US-based Kaiser Permanente have found variations in genetic locus -- near the SIM1 gene -- were associated with 26 per cent increased risk of erectile dysfunction.

Gene Variant May Drive Hunger For High-Fat Foods
People with a variant of a particular gene prefer high-fat food compared to people without it, said a study Tuesday, suggesting our dietary preferences may be at last partly pre-coded.

5 New Genes May Lead To Customised Breast Cancer Treatment
Scientists have uncovered five new genes associated with breast cancer and 13 new mutational signatures that influence tumour development, an advance that may lead to personalised healthcare for the deadly disease. The results of the largest-ever study to sequence the whole genomes of breast cancer also show what genetic variations exist in the dis...

Personalised Chemotherapy For Leukaemia Patients A Step Closer
Researchers have determined how inherited gene variations lead to severe drug toxicity that may threaten chances for a cure in children with leukaemia, a finding which sets the stage to expand the use of a patient's genetic make-up to tailor chemotherapy.
