POPS5-HTTLPR and Depression So the short allele assumes that we avoid risk and have great support systems. What if we don't? "Only" 40 percent of the S variant in countries of European origin is still close to half. Most of my family is short on serotonin, and we're Scandinavian/English. There's currently no way to make more. SSRIs only make more of what you already have available for neurotransmitting. Help, medical science!

POPSGenome-wide study of autism published in Nature "The biggest challenge to finding the genes that contribute to autism is having a large and well studied group of patients and their family members, both for primary discovery of genes and to test and verify the discovery candidates," said Aravinda Chakravarti, professor of medicine, pediatrics and molecular biology and genetics at the McKusick-Nathans Institute of Genetic Medicine at Johns Hopkins, and one of the study's senior authors. "This latest finding would not have been possible without these many research groups and consortia pooling together their patient resources. Of course, they would not have been possible without the genomic scanning technologies either."

POPSMahmoud Ahmadinejad's Jewish Roots Revealed: "Heil Sabourjian!"
The phenomenon of Jews denouncing other Jews and being their own worst critics (and I do mean worst) is a well known one, in history down to the present day -- whether it's those who profess to still identify with the faith, as with some members of Jewish Voice for Peace (most have long since substituted Marxism for their religion and simply live off genetics), those whose parents converted (as with Marx), or those who converted out themselves and now prove their bona fides by trashing their former co-religionists. One thing's for sure, this is just more proof that there's something about those Jews -- always prime movers on every side of world-historical events and movements. In fact, maybe that's it! Ahmadinejad (nee Sabourjian) is just a ZIonist under deep cover, agitating for a war to bring about Iran's ultimate defeat and the massive expansion of Greater Israel's borders. Think about it, fever swampers. The title of course refers to the fact that Adolf Hitler's . . .

POPSBBC: "Pedigree Dogs Exposed"
"Purebred" dogs are victims of over a century of inbreeding for looks. They are essentially mutant dwarfs that are plagued with all manner of sickness and genetic infirmities, who look almost nothing like their healthy ancestors of 100+ years ago. The most distressing part is to listen to the breeders who, because they want a dog to look a certain way, breed siblings to siblings, parents to children... And the results is King Charles Spaniels existing in constant agony because they've been bred so small their brain does not fit in their skull. That ridge on a Rhodesian Ridgeback, that's mild spina bifida, leaving the dog prone to spinal infections. But breeders kill healthy puppies born without it, lest they ruin the (mutant) breed. All so the mutants can be shown in the ring. The analysis of how British attitudes towards purebred dogs relates to the idea of eugenics, and breeding for so-called "pure" traits. It frames what dog breeders attitudes most disturbi
