A gene variant that affects skeletal muscle function may have protected humans against lower temperatures as they migrated from Africa to Europe more than 50,000 years ago, suggests a study appearing ...

Some people just aren't bothered by the cold, no matter how low the temperature dips. And the reason for this may be in a person's genes. Our new research shows that a common genetic variant in the ...

Some people just aren't that bothered by cold weather; can it be their genes? New work has suggested that when humans began to migrate from Africa to Europe over 50,000 years ago, and into colder ...

A gene known as ACTN3 (α-actinin-3) has earned the nickname “the gene for speed,” and it may have an influence on how androgens work through the androgen receptor to maintain muscle mass. Research has ...

A genetic variation that increases muscle tone also makes people more tolerant of cold conditions, according to a study of volunteers dunked for long stretches in chilly water. More than 1.5 billion ...
