Some people (mainly Jewish people) would raise their eyebrows or frown when they heard the name of “Adolf Hitler” – the ruthless dictator who had almost wipe out the whole Jewish community during the holocaust. Ironically, based on the recent DNA testing on the Fuhler’s relatives, here’s one of the main conclusions:

“Hitler’s concern over his descent was not unjustified. He was apparently not “pure” or ‘Ayran’.” It is not the first time that historians have suggested Hitler had Jewish ancestry…”

The DNA test results suggest that Hitler ‘had Jewish and African roots’ – based on a DNA test involving A chromosome called Haplogroup E1b1b1.

DNA Testing On A Man Who Had Almost Wipe Out the Entire Jews

Scientifically, if you want to find a cure for drug overdosed – you need to find a suitable candidate who had survived countless of drug overdosed cases and then, identify related genes that has the ability of metabolized drugs better than other people via DNA sequencing.

In this case, a genetics company has found the right candidate for this study – he’s Ozzy Osbourne a.k.a. the Prince of Darkness. To find out more about it – watch the clip above.

Why a Genetics Company Wants Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA Sequenced?

A study from Boston University and Italy has successfully identified longevity genes based on a large group of 1,055 senior citizens – who attain the age of 100 years old and above. It’s also important in screening for age-related diseases and tailoring the use of medicines,

According to Bloomberg Businessweek:

Testing for a genetic pattern found in centenarians may predict with 77 percent accuracy which people are among the 3 in 1,000 Americans with the DNA to live past age 100, a study found.

It’s not 99.9% accurate because the study was performed on Caucasian. The accuracy can be improved by performing similar study on other races from different countries.
