<p>A teenager from India has been named the male with the hairiest face by the Guinness World Record. The teen, Lalit Patidar, 18, hails from Ratlam, a city in Madhya Pradesh, a central Indian state.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Lalit was born with hypertrichosis, also known as &lsquo;werewolf syndrome&rsquo;, a complex and rare condition that has left his face covered with hair since he was a child.</p>
<p>He was diagnosed with the syndrome at the young age of six. The condition made him the victim of ridicule as it caused the growth of &ldquo;abnormal amounts&rdquo; of fine hairs, as long as 5 cm, to grow on his face and other parts of body.&nbsp;</p>

Entertainment | Trending: If there was excitement of witnessing the Indian cricket team win the ICC Champions Trophy against New Zealand on Sunday in Dubai, romance off-field caught everyone's attention.

If there was excitement of witnessing the Indian cricket team win the ICC Champions Trophy against New Zealand on Sunday in Dubai, romance off-field caught everyone's attention. Since Sunday, social media has been abuzz with three budding romances involving a few members of the cricket team. New romance off the field One of the most talked-about moments from the Champions Trophy final came thanks to Indian cricketer Yuzvendra Chahal and RJ Mahvash. The two were seen enjoying the match from the stands. Chahal has been in the news for the past few weeks due to his ongoing divorce proceedings with his wife, dancer Dhanashree Verma. Mahvash's post from Sunday's match only led to speculations about a possible romance between the two. Sharing pictures and videos from the celebratory night, she wrote, “Kaha tha na jita ke aungi (I told you I'll make them win) I am good luck for team India.” One of the clips showed her joining in the stadium’s jubilant atmosphere, while another image showcased her match-day outfit, further fuelling the gossip. Yuzi and Mahvash Another video, shared by actor Vivek Oberoi shows the rumoured couple seated right behind him. Oberoi asks Yuzi if India will win, to which the cricketer responds, saying, "Araam se (Easily)." Mahvash can be seen laughing at their conversation. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Vivek Oberoi (@vivekoberoi) Many also spotted actress-influencer Avneet Kaur at the India vs. Australia match in the semi-finals. Previously linked to Raghav Sharma, she now is being linked to cricketer Shubman Gill, who was previously linked with actor Sara Ali Khan and former cricketer Sachin Tendulkar's daughter Sara Tendulkar. How Rohit's Indian Team became almost ‘Invincible like Arsenal of 03/04' in Champions Trophy triumph View this post on Instagram A post shared by Avneet Kaur (@avneetkaur_13) There were no photos of the two from the match, although fans did tease Avneet in the comment section as she shared a few photos from the stadium. Yuzvendra Chahal and Dhanashree Verma reportedly finalise divorce, share cryptic posts Hardik Pandya, whose personal life has always been subject to scrutiny, is now being linked to British singer Jasmin Walia. The singer was at the Champions Trophy final, reigniting talks about her alleged romance with Pandya. Her presence at India's previous matches against Australia and India had already raised eyebrows, and her continued support for the team only deepened the curiosity.

The much-loved couple shared a warm hug post India's win. The two were seen chatting, arms in arms, after the Indian team lifted the Champions Trophy 2025. There were other cricketers too who were seen sharing a moment with their better halves and kids. Ravindra Jadeja was greeted by a warm hug from his daughter and wife, Rivaba Jadeja.

Yuzvendra Chahal-RJ Mahvash to Hardik Pandya-Jasmin Walia: New romances off the field that made news at Champions Trophy

<p>The issue of obesity affects millions of people worldwide. In the latest study, researchers found that one gene called DENND1B drives some Labrador Retrievers to overeat and gain weight. The same gene is also found in humans.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The study published in the journal Science revealed that British Labrador Retrievers have multiple genes related to canine obesity.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The study found that some Labrador Retrievers don&rsquo;t know when to stop when it comes to hunger eating, and they also have multiple genes associated with canine obesity. The study revealed that the same genes found in these perennially hungry hounds are also associated with obesity in humans.&nbsp;</p>
<p>The researchers performed a canine genome-wide association study for body condition score, which is a measure of obesity, in 241 Labrador Retrievers.&nbsp;</p>
<p>They used a cross-species approach to show canine obesity genes are also associated with rare and common forms of obesity in humans.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The study found that lead canine association was within the gene DENN domain containing 1B (DENND1B) and each copy of the alternate allele was associated with ~7% greater body fat.&nbsp;</p>
<p>"We demonstrate a role for this gene in regulating signaling and trafficking of melanocortin 4 receptor, a critical controller of energy homeostasis. Thus, canine genetics identified obesity genes and mechanisms relevant to both dogs and humans," the authors said in the study.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As quoted by BBC, lead researcher Dr Eleanor Raffan from the University of Cambridge's Department of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience, explained, "By studying dogs, we've honed in on some interesting new biology here."&nbsp;</p>

<p>She further added that the discovery showed that "owners of slim dogs are not morally superior - and the same is true of slim people".&nbsp;</p>
<p>"If you have a high genetic risk of obesity, you're prone to gaining weight unless you put a huge effort into not doing so. And those with low genetic risk just don't have to work so hard."&nbsp;</p>
<p><strong>Also read:<span>&nbsp;</span><a href="https://www.wionews.com/world/hey-woman-painkillers-wont-help-you-the-way-they-help-men-8834854" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Hey, woman, painkillers won&rsquo;t help you the way they help men</a></strong></p>

Science & Tech | Learn about the canine genome-wide association study revealing obesity genes. The research identifies DENNDB as a key factor in energy regulation for both species.

The issue of obesity affects millions of people worldwide. In the latest study, researchers found that one gene called DENND1B drives some Labrador Retrievers to overeat and gain weight. The same gene is also found in humans. The study published in the journal Science revealed that British Labrador Retrievers have multiple genes related to canine obesity.

The study revealed that the same genes found in these perennially hungry hounds are also associated with obesity in humans. The researchers performed a canine genome-wide association study for body condition score, which is a measure of obesity, in 241 Labrador Retrievers. They used a cross-species approach to show canine obesity genes are also associated with rare and common forms of obesity in humans.

"We demonstrate a role for this gene in regulating signaling and trafficking of melanocortin 4 receptor, a critical controller of energy homeostasis. Thus, canine genetics identified obesity genes and mechanisms relevant to both dogs and humans," the authors said in the study. As quoted by BBC, lead researcher Dr Eleanor Raffan from the University of Cambridge's Department of Physiology, Development, and Neuroscience, explained, "By studying dogs, we've honed in on some interesting new biology here."

She further added that the discovery showed that "owners of slim dogs are not morally superior - and the same is true of slim people". "If you have a high genetic risk of obesity, you're prone to gaining weight unless you put a huge effort into not doing so. And those with low genetic risk just don't have to work so hard."
