Led by biochemist Ravi Iyengar,
bikinis brasil, the researchers specifically wanted to understand how drugs can produce a side effect similar to the heart arrhythmias seen in people with a congenital condition called long QT syndrome,
Lacoste Bikinis, which causes a prolonged \electrical cycle.
Scientists have identified 13 genes associated with long QT, and the Iyengar team hypothesized that the drugs that cause the arrhythmias act upon the genes' proteins, as well as partnering and neighboring proteins.
To prove this,

They found that these 1,629 proteins formed their own area, or \,

Iyengar says these results show that complex diseases can have identifiable boundaries yet may share common molecular features. The overlap, he adds, also indicates that people who have one disease may have the propensity to develop the others.
