In a blow to human vanity, researchers now say that people have about the same number of genes as a small flowering plant or a tiny worm. The new estimate is down sharply from just three years ago.

Genes play an important role in determining whether women cheat on their sexual partners, according to one of the largest studies of sexual behaviour undertaken in Britain.

MONDAY, Nov. 15 (HealthDayNews) -- Data on nearly a million families suggest that mutations in BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes -- which are strongly linked to some breast cancers -- may also confer a slight increase in risk for pancreatic, prostate and stomach cancers.

Experiments in mice show that treating uterine fibroids with gene therapy that inactivates the fibroid's estrogen receptors causes them to shrink. This might lead to a way to deal with fibroids without impairing a woman's fertility, researchers say.
