Chennai, Sept. 1 -- The Indian Institute of Technology-Madras (IIT-M) and Danish researchers have shown how interactions between genetic variants can act like "switches" to unlock hidden cellular pathways.
By revealing how these gene-gene interactions rewire metabolism over time, the study provides vital insights into the genetic basis of complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders.
"The scientists showed how interactions between genetic variants can activate hidden metabolic pathways, offering vital insights into complex diseases such as cancer, diabetes, and neurodegenerative disorders, and paving the way for personalised medicine", IIT-M said.
The findings have far-reaching implications for human health,...
