New research on FTO gene variants, FTO and heart disease, viral susceptibility

FTO and m6A Methylation

Recently, researchers discovered that FTO is an m6A eraser that removes methyl groups from mRNA. This discovery has opened up huge avenues of research on topics from cancer to immune response to heart disease.

Brain Function and Mental Health Genes: Neurotransmitters, Mood, Cognition

Smarter, happier, and more focused — this section pulls together the articles on how your genetic variants impact brain function and mental health. Instead of generic advice, you’ll find research‑based explanations of how specific SNPs influence neurotransmitters, mood, cognition, and addiction risk — plus practical, low‑hype options you can try. … Read more

miRNAs control gene expression by blocking translation of mRNA into the protein.

miRNA: What It Is and How It Works

miRNAs are small non-coding RNA molecules that regulate gene expression. They are important for healthy aging, longevity, metabolic health, and immune function.

MTR and MTRR genetic variants, Vitamin b12 genetic variants, choosing the right form of B12 for your genetic variants

Vitamin B12, MTR & MTRR, and Methylation

There are several genes that can influence your absorption, transport, and need for vitamin B12. Some people need higher amounts of B12, and some people thrive on different forms of B12. Take a look at your genetic data to see if you should up your intake of B12.

Vitamin B6 deficiency genes, foods high in vitamin B6

Vitamin B6: Genetics, Absorption, and Deficiency

Vitamin B6 is an important co-factor in hundreds of different enzymatic reactions. Low levels of B6 are linked to an increased risk of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, neurodegenerative diseases, and cancer. B6 is also essential for reducing oxidative stress and inflammation.
