But women who consumed their hot drinks immediately after making them were three times more likely to develop the disease as those who waited a while for their drinks to cool down.Dr Sharp said: "It's i...

Variation in breast cancer

Sleepwalking has genetic roots

...in Bern, Switzerland, shows an interesting genetic variation in these patients. Genetic testing for a part of the immune system called HLA was performed in a subgroup of these sleepwalkers. Half of them were carrying a specific genetic variant of HLA, compared to just 20 per cent in a control group of non-sl...
