So that sounds like a defective repeat, that winds up being helpful.

Interesting.

“Medics have known...”

The tighter the genes, the heavier the patient, and therefore more medics required to lift them into the gurney.

The team found that people with two copies of these particular variants - one in over 1,000 people in the UK - were on average 2.5 kg lighter than people without the variants and had a 50 per cent lower risk of type 2 diabetes and heart disease.

5.5 pounds doesn't seem to be enough to reduce disease risk by 50%. Maybe this gene has a direct impact on the heart and blood sugar with weight loss just being a side effect.

"Scientists at Cambridge University say drugs to keep people slim are now a possibility after they identified the handful of genetic factors that prevent overeating."

No, that's not what they said.

They said they found an association between certain genetic factors and outcomes like obesity. It's the reporter that substituted "overeating" for "obesity".
