Researchers have determined that two mutations on a single gene can interact in a way that lowers the carrier's risk for a heart attack. The variants are found in a gene called DBH, which regulates an ...
"Monogenic" diseases, triggered by mutations in just one gene, may actually be more complex than scientists thought.
