If they lead to clear differences, for example in a phenotype or susceptibility to disease, this is known in biology as a polymorphism. Typical examples are a number of genes whose variants are responsible for the expression of different blood groups. Interestingly, these polymorphic genes can be relevant to blood groups and diseases at the same time.&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n Click here for original story, <a href=\"https:\/\/phys.org\/news\/2023-01-evolutionary-trade-offs-genetic-disease-pathogen.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Evolutionary trade-offs: Balancing genetic disease risks and pathogen protection<\/a>&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\n&#013;<br \/>\nSource: Phys.org&#013;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Certain genes can exist in different, functionally divergent variants in the individuals of a species.
