Fainting Gene” Is Identified for the First Time

We have learned that a part of chromosome 2 increases the risk of fainting. This means that there is a genetic risk variant that predisposes to fainting. In addition, we are the first to show that fainting is genetically determined by linking an increased risk of fainting with an exact position in the genome,' says Associate Professor Morten Salling Olesen from the Department of Biomedical Sciences, University of Copenhagen and the Laboratory for Molecular Cardiology, Rigshospitalet. https://www.technologynetworks.com/genomics/news/fainting-gene-is-identified-for-the-first-time-319480?utm_campaign=NEWSLETTER_TN_Breaking%20Science%20News&utm_source=hs_email&utm_medium=email&utm_content=72782743&_hsenc=p2ANqtz-912KthN3rPzBgrLFmPENdVllZ47xE3Kd7YZy-9VqSMyuS3mZuCMJCOY5eWW-KgkNcdthm3D4bPFdyCqzxYPlSgXoA1Ng&_hsmi=72782743
