Research Identifies New Cause Of Inherited Heart Condition
The findings of the research has identified a new gene as a cause of an inherited heart condition affecting one in 500 people.

Modification Of Genes In Human Embryos
Scientists are very close to snipping inherited genetic diseases out of human offspring using a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. For the first time, scientists said, they corrected a gene mutation linked to inherited heart conditions in human embryos using the approach.

It's not all in the Genes: Clean Living can cut Heart Risks
A large study finds that people with the most inherited risk cut their chances of having a heart attack or other heart problems in half if they didn't smoke, ate well, exercised and stayed slim.
