Whether a cup of java will leave you craving¹ more could be chalked up to your genes².

一杯咖啡是否会使你上瘾也许是由你的基因决定的。

People with a newly identified genetic³ variant⁴ in their DNA⁵, called PDSS2, may be inclined to drink fewer cups of coffee than others, according to a small study published in the journal Scientific Reports.

根据发布在《科学报告杂志》上的一项小研究显示：有这种新发现的遗传变异PDSS2基因的人，可能会倾向于比其他人喝更少的咖啡。

"I actually was very surprised to find a new gene for coffee consumption," said Nicola Pirastu, a chancellor's research fellow at the University of Edinburgh's Usher⁶ Institute of Population Health Sciences and Informatics, and lead author of the study.
