You will die at 11 am or 6 pm?

Will you die at about 11am or around 6pm? Your genotype can say that.

A team of US researchers recently discovered that genes can 'predict' the time of day that we will die. This discovery helps determine when a stroke patient or a heart attack patient should take medicine.

The team is currently investigating the development of Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease. They observed the sleep of 1,200 healthy people, aged 65.

People with AA genotypes tend to wake up earlier than those with GG genotypes.

Scientists have discovered a gene variant that profoundly affects the human biological clock, even predicting the time of day when a person can die.

Researchers hope that the final results can be used to determine when a patient's heart or stroke should take medication to get the most effect, or when these patients need to be closely monitored. the best.

The US team discovered genetic changes by accident when they were investigating the development of Parkinson's disease and Alzheimer's disease. Of the 1,200 people above, those with AA or AG genotypes died just before the average time of 11 am, but those with GG genotypes tended to die before 6 pm.

The researchers found a single molecule near a gene called 'Stage 1 had a basis for either adenine (A) or guanine (G)' related to the time we had can die in the day.

This finding, published in the Annals of Neurology, shows that people with AA genotypes tend to wake up about an hour earlier than people with GG genotypes and AG genes. Wake up almost exactly in the middle of the night.

The study's lead author, Andrew Lim, from the Department of Neurology at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston, Massachusetts, said: "internal" biological clock regulates many aspects of biology and behavior. human micro. It also affects the timing of acute events such as stroke and heart attack.

Clifford Saper, director of neurology at BIDMC (Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center Medical Center), said: "So that's really a gene predicting the time of day you will die. Fortunately, not the day you will die, but the time of day that you will die. '
