If you haven't seen this film its a must watch, genetic discrimination is scary! - divinediva, on 01/03/2009, -0/+8Knowing gene mutations that increase heart attack risk can help identify people at risk and clarify molecular changes involved in heart.
- wrmjr, on 01/03/2009, -0/+3Heart disease is one of the leading--if not the leading--causes of death in the world. A test that could help prevent heart attacks that kill many people under the age of 40 would be an incredible discovery. That said, it is still a small portion of overall heart attacks, but the ones that strike young people seem more tragic than ones that hit 80 year-olds.

- TheSwashbuckler, on 01/03/2009, -0/+3Ah, the hypocrisy.
When genes related to obesity are found most diggers say "just get off your fat ass and execise." But strangely, we don't see those same kinds of posts here. - Totz83, on 01/03/2009, -0/+2very niiiice
- borez, on 01/03/2009, -1/+3Wow, it's taking a long time to ban this guy.
http://digg.com/users/xtrashots3jan1 - theone3, on 01/03/2009, -0/+2Furthermore, if we are able to indentify the gene any further, we may be able to push it entirely off the page!
- drunkenoaf, on 01/04/2009, -0/+2You need to be more pessimistic about journalism in general. "The gene for... X" seems to give journalists a wet dream. The reality is that thousands is a complex symphony of interplay do this, and one gene may predispose to an effect, but it's not a "gene for". Try explaining that to a time-stressed BA in English lit qulified grad journalist.
- simonowens, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1This is the same newspaper that publishes articles claiming global warming is a hoax. I pretty much disregard all science related articles that are published by the Telegraph.
- jakash, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Just like they found the gene (and could therefore possibly cure) obesity, bad behaviour, cancer, man boobs and monobrows?
Sorry to be so pessimistic, but there are so many of these miracle reports on Digg nowadays and so few real medical breakthroughs. - inactive, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Yes, but... where's the gene that gets me laid?
- borez, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1Bye then.
- Jerky1312, on 01/03/2009, -0/+1How come these stories of a cancer, aids, gene discovery and heart disease breakthroughs are always reported on telegraph.co.uk, dailymail.co.uk or guardian.co.uk. I read the headlines about these stories and I know without checking, its from one of these sites.
- alecadvent, on 01/03/2009, -0/+0HHHHHNNNNNNGGGGGHHHHHHHHH
- DouglasQ, on 01/03/2009, -0/+0This is SUCH an exciting discovery!!! Think of all the medical-*gasp* ergh *cough* aaarrrggghhh!! *wheeze* Oh the irony!
- callmevil, on 01/03/2009, -0/+0those with the genes should be tagged and not be allowed to 'supersize me' options..
- tyranny12, on 01/03/2009, -0/+0indentify?
- HyphySoul, on 01/03/2009, -1/+1This means more bacon
- HouseofEl, on 01/03/2009, -1/+1Seriously, this is a great find. My grandfather in his early 40s, My father had his first of 7 heart attacks in his 40s. Heart disease still stands as one of the largest killers all over the world. Anything that advances our understanding and ability to fight the issue is a welcome one. Let's hope the gene skipped my generation. Then again, my mother's side is very familiar with cancer. I guess I'm screwed either way. Let's hope this turns into fast and effective advancements.
- feng495, on 01/03/2009, -0/+0of course
- Garlik, on 01/03/2009, -1/+1Can it predict my heart attack every time I have to listen to a Dane Cook joke?
- Fatcheeseguy, on 01/03/2009, -4/+1So now we're going to have more fat people in America?
- callmevil, on 01/03/2009, -6/+2definitely a good news !!
