Researchers used DNA from locks of Beethoven's hair to study his genome and shed light on his poor health. They found that Beethoven had two copies of a variant of the PNPLA3 gene linked to liver cirrhosis and single copies of two variants of a gene that causes haemochromatosis, a condition that damages the liver. They also discovered that Beethoven was infected with the hepatitis B virus in the final months of his life and that alcohol consumption may have exacerbated his liver disease risk. Additionally, the study revealed a family secret: Beethoven's locks had a different Y chromosome than expected, suggesting that at some point in the seven generations between Aert and Ludwig, someone's father for social and legal purposes was not their biological father.
