Twinkle Khanna aka MrsFunnyBones revealed how she made a list of things about her husband's genetic history before she married him. Research shows how your genes are to blame for so many of your problems. Find out which of your woes are thanks to the faults in your genes.
2/9
Being overweight: This is one thing that you can thankfully blame your genes for. A research published in the journal PLoS Genetics revealed a brain cell gene which regulates body weight by controlling feelings of fullness or hunger.

Sleeping too much: So when you don't wake up on time and get late for work. No more blaming the trains or the bus. A research published in the journal Current Biology says that you are genetically predisposed to sleep a little longer than others.

Coffee consumption may not affect your heart's rhythm

Being dumb: Now you won't judge that colleague or that peer who takes a lot of time to understand simple things. An Australian study published in the American Journal of Human Genetics says that genes are responsible for intellectual disability and are critical to the earliest stages of human development.

Getting a hangover: And you thought it depended on the amount of alcohol you gulp. According to new research from the University of Missouri-Columbia, genetic factors accounted for 45 percent of the difference in hangover frequency in women and 40 percent of men. But the study pointed out that people who are less likely to have a hangover are at a greater risk of alcohol addiction.
7/9
Laziness: An American study from the University of Missouri suggested that many people lack the motivation to move or get some physical activity because of a set of genes. The study helps in identifying the cause of obesity in people and also identify people who are at risk of obesity.

Can't quit alcohol: If you have been trying to refrain from alcohol but have failed miserably each time, it could be due to a set of genes that you may have. According to a study published in the journal Alcohol and Alcoholism, this particular gene is over represented in people with alcohol dependency and can also have a variety of negative consequences.
9/9
Forgetfulness: Do you enter a room and then forget why you came there? You probably have a variant of this gene called DRD2. Those who have this gene are more easily distracted and experience a significantly higher incidence of lapses due to lack of attention. The research is published online in Neuroscience Letters.
