People with fewer copies of carb-breakdown gene may be at an increased risk of obesity, say King's College London and Imperial College London researchers. The findings, published in iNature Genetics/i, suggest that dietary advice may need to be more tailored to an individual's digestive system, based on whether they have the genetic predisposition and necessary enzymes to digest different foods.

People with fewer copies of carb-breakdown gene may be at an increased risk of obesity, say King's College London and Imperial College London researchers.
