      Reports on genetic variation. Finding of scientists of a dramatic amount of genetic variability among humans; Realization of the scientists that the job of tracing the web of interactions among multiple genes will be more difficult than previously thought; Belief of scientists that many diseases may be the result of the influence of multiple genes; Publication from the team that studied the gene the body uses to produce lipoprotein lipase in the July 1998 journal `Nature Genetics.'
