Genetic risk of diabetes in South Asian populations
Genetic underpinnings of diabetes in South Asian populations, new treatment for asthma, early detection of Alzheimer's and the health risks of slap fighting.
A new study in Nature has looked at genetic underpinnings that could lead to earlier presentations of Type 2 diabetes in South Asian populations.
Also on the program, we look at an exciting new development in asthma treatment, and how we can detect Alzheimer's soon.
Plus, slap fighting 鈥� the sport is growing in popularity, but could it have negative health consequences for participants.
