Transcript

Genetic mutations that give you superpowers. The super sleeper gene HDEC2. People with this gene are known super sleepers and can easily get through the day with just four hours sleep. It's most commonly shared amongst very successful people. The super-taster gene TAS2R38. You may have this gene if you consider yourself to have a super strong sense of taste. It occurs in 25% of people. The unbreakable mutation LRP5. People with this gene have extra bone density causing their bones to be much stronger than the average person's, making them way harder to break. The immune to pain gene SCN9A. Having this super rare gene may sound amazing. However, people with this DNA variant often hurt themselves without realizing.
