Could someone clarify these sentences for me?
1. So finds a new study that identifies six ways people with unlucky bits of DNA can stave off the accumulation of excess pounds. - The beginning of it doesn't make sense to me.
2. You can run away from your fat genes, and you can waltz right on by a hereditary risk of gaining weight. - waltz right on by?
3. She had the careworn, joyless, exhausted but it agitated look I've seen in many of my patients. This one I might've misheard.
4. In 2012, the company behind DDR — Japan’s Konami Entertainment — launched a classroom edition of its video game, which lets up to 48 students dance in unison to the same song on wireless controller mats that judge the execution of their moves. - lets up?

What about: "but it agitated" in the sentence 3? It doesn't suit to me here

1. This seems like a typo... either
"Student finds..." or "Some findings in a new study..."
2. This expression means something like... to go on without a care or worry. A waltz is a kind of dance. You could also say "dance right on by".
3. "Careworn".... Maybe just worn?
4. "up to 48" meaning "as many as 48"... It could be 48 at maximum or it could be fewer. Lets up to x number = allows up to x number
