A genetic analysis of nearly 700,000 people identified 74 distinct locations in the human genome tied to anxiety, 39 of which had never been linked to the condition before

Source Summary

Anxiety is still more often treated as a mood problem than a biology problem. A new study makes that harder to justify. Researchers analyzing genetic data from nearly 700,000 people have identified 74 distinct locations in the human genome linked to anxiety symptoms — the largest number ever found in a single study — and [...] The post A genetic analysis of nearly 700,000 people identified 74 distinct locations in the human genome tied to anxiety, 39 of which had never been linked to the condition before appeared first on Space Daily .
