A recent study published in Nature Communications has identified genetic variants linked to a preference for mornings or nights, revealing the biological basis of morningness. The research found that individuals with a 'morning' genotype tend to have lower BMI and are less likely to suffer from depression.
A first-of-its-kind study of puberty timing in men reveals a strong genetic correlation with females, showing that the same genetic factors influence both sexes. The study found five new genetic variants associated with puberty timing, some acting through known hormone pathways.
The study identified 35 genetic factors associated with motion sickness, including those affecting balance, eye, ear, and cranial development, as well as glucose homeostasis. The findings suggest a role for the nervous system in motion sickness and may provide insight into other nausea-related conditions.
The Zerenex PERFECTED study demonstrated a highly statistically significant change in serum phosphorus, increases in serum ferritin and transferrin saturation, and significant reductions in IV iron and ESA usage. This could lead to significant pharmaco-economic benefits and improved patient care.
