Type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure share a genetic link, according to new research from the University of Surrey, U.K., and the Université de Lille, France. In a large-scale study, scientists ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

A recent study reveals a link between blood type and stroke risk, particularly for early-onset strokes. Individuals with type ...

Your blood type isn’t just relevant when you need a transfusion. It fundamentally influences which diseases you’re most susceptible to throughout your life. Scientists have discovered that the ...

What’s in a blood type? Potentially a lot, according to research, including a review of studies published in the Wiley Interdisciplinary Reviews: Systems Biology and Medicine, that correlates ...

A test using genetics to predict who is at the highest risk of developing type 1 diabetes could one day be applied to largescale health studies, to identify adults who could benefit from new drugs, ...

Not to B-negative, but your blood type could offer a clue to your risk of having a stroke before 60. “The number of people with early strokes is rising,” said Dr. Steven J. Kittner, co-principal ...
