BH4: Tetrahydrobiopterin Synthesis, Recycling, and Genetic SNPs
Tetrahydrobiopterin (BH4) is an essential cofactor in the production of neurotransmitters and nitric oxide. Genetic variants impact BH4 levels which can affect heart disease, cognitive function, and immune response.
Fibronectin, Genetics, and Alzheimer’s Prevention
Genetic variants in FN1 that reduce fibronectin also protect against Alzheimer’s in people with APOE E4. Here’s how to check your genes.
Back Pain: Genetics, Root Causes, and Solutions
For some people, back pain is a daily occurrence that drastically affects their quality of life. For others, it may be an intermittent nagging problem, often without rhyme or reason. Your genes play a role in whether disc degeneration gives you back pain.
Wilson’s disease: ATP7B Gene Mutations and Copper Accumulation in the Brain
Mutations in ATP7B can cause copper dysregulation and Wilson’s disease. People carrying one copy of the mutation may also have subtle changes.
Essential Tremor: Causes and Possible Solutions
Essential tremor (ET) is a neurological disease causing involuntary shaking in places of the body while performing tasks such as writing or eating. Learn more about this disease and discover the genetic causes of ET.
Sudden Hearing Loss: Viruses, Vaccines, and Genes
Genetic variants can significantly increase your risk of sudden sensorineural hearing loss. Learn more about the current research on sudden sensorineural hearing loss, including links to viral and vaccine causes.
