Genetically Predisposed

Evolutionary biologists at the University of Michigan reached this conclusion following the examination of 276,406 individuals' genomes.

The team from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill found genetic sites that affect human body's size and shape, including height and obesity. The findings will help understand how genes can predispose certain individuals to obesity.

Genetics and cancer: With the help of data which was available publically, researchers have been able to identify 10 new genes which are predisposed to ovarian and breast cancer among others.

Physical activity builds stronger bones in children, even for those who carry genetic variants that predispose them to bone weakness.

The first thing to understand about Celiac disease is that it is an autoimmune disorder, which can occur in genetically predisposed people where the ingestion of gluten leads to damage of the small intestine.

In what is believed to be the largest study of its kind, an international team of researchers has identified new genes that predispose people to ischemic stroke, the cause of approximately 85 per cent of all strokes.

A purified form of omega 3 fatty acids cuts the number and size of precancerous bowel growths (polyps) in people whose genetic make-up predisposes them to bowel cancer.

Some children born to mothers with type 1 diabetes may be predisposed to developing the far more common type 2 diabetes as adults, according to a latest report.
