'Game-changing' study finds DNA patterns that raise heart attack risk

Scientists know genes are responsible for roughly half your chance of having a heart attack, but they didn't know which genes were important. Now, in a huge world-first study, Australian scientists say they have discovered the DNA patterns that can raise our risk. People with high-risk DNA are more than four times more likely to have a heart attack than people with low-risk DNA, their study reveals.
