For many, chocolate offers brief moments of pleasure that we like to enjoy over and over again. Why?
F10: This gene is important in blood coagulation, and is associated with certain forms of haemophilia.
Corresponding protein in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
GJB2: Gene associated with congenital deafness.
Corresponding protein in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
SLITRK1: Gene involved in neuronal dendrite outgrowth. Mutations in this gene are associated with Tourette Syndrome, a neuropsychiatric disorder.
TNFSF13B: This gene codes for a cytokine, an important molecule in the immune response.
Corresponding protein in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
DAOA: This gene is involved in producing a molecule which interacts with the ‘happy receptor’. This part of the chromosome is associated with psychiatric disorders such as schizophrenia.
Corresponding protein in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot
