Healthy People Have Hundreds Of Flawed Genes
A normal healthy person has an average of 400 flaws in their DNA, according to a new study in The American Journal of Human Genetics. Many are considered “silent” mutations and do not impact a person's well-being, however, when passed on to offspring, issues may occur. The other flaws, on the other hand, are associated with cancer, heart disease, conditions that occur when a person is older Continue reading
