People who have the same gene may be affected differently. Two terms explain these differences: penetrance and expressivity. Penetrance refers to whether the gene is expressed or not. That is, it refers to how many people with the gene have the trait associated with the gene. Penetrance is co...
In humans, Lin28 is thought to be one of many genes that work together to determine adult stature and to set pubertal timing. In some people, Lin28 variants may add an extra quarter inch of height and may delay puberty by about a month, according to recent findings from other researchers...

analyze how genes may affect outcomes with medications learn which medications may require dose adjustments understand which medications may be less likely to work or may have an increased risk of side effects based on genetic makeup Our articles are for informational purposes only and are reviewed ...
genes may be more or less detrimental depending on the rest of a partner's genetic profile. However, there is currently no published data on which to rest any type of proposed match. So, ruling out prospective husbands on the basis of variations within or across genes doesn't make much ...
Nature vs. Nurture – Can You “Make” It? I have skinny-fat genetics, and I’ve been training for a year with no results… Can I make it? Yes, you can, just look at my first and second picture. Those are 9 and 12 months into training respectively. ...
It’s the hereditary substance found in your genes made of DNA that instructs your body to stop linear growth at the end of puberty.[1] But we all know that height is determined by both natural factors and our environment. Hence, genes alone are not responsible for slow or stunted growth...
Dr. Yang Li, another author on the study, explained: "The key to our results is that we performed a large-scale study, using many pathogens and measuring different cytokines". The next step was to investigate if the responses were under genetic control. In a subset of participants, they ...
Leading a unique, collaborative research study with scientists across the globe, investigators at the University of Cambridge and Children's Hospital Los Angeles have pinpointed a set of molecules that wire the body weight center of the brain.
