UNC medical geneticist cautions against rushing into genetic testing
Just because scientific advances now allow individuals to learn their genetic make-up doesn't mean they should rush into genetic testing in hopes of making revolutionary improvements to their health, cautions a geneticist and practicing physician at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. view more (2008-06-02)
Children's diet not the main cause of ADHD
Food may not be the major cause of hyperactivity in children. Genetics, brain function and parental actions such as smoking may be just as important. view more (2008-05-30)
Statistical tool could explain gene study variations
While scientists are using the human genome to associate certain genes with disease, Dr. Hongyan Xu wants to ensure they are accounting for natural variations in those genes. view more (2008-05-29)
New statistical method reveals surprises about our ancestry
A statistical approach to studying genetic variation promises to shed new light on the history of human migration. view more (2008-05-23)

Cell's 'power plant' genes raise vision disorder risk
Genetic variation in the DNA of mitochondria - the "power plants" of cells - contributes to a person's risk of developing age-related macular degeneration (AMD), Vanderbilt investigators report May 7 in the journal PLoS ONE. view more (2008-05-07)
Genotyping takes us closer to an osteoporosis fingerprint
For the first time ever, an extensive genome-wide search has been undertaken to find the genes linked to osteoporosis and fracture. Five regions of interest have been identified that appear to warrant further scientific investigation. view more (2008-04-30)

The influence of genetics increases as young women transition from taking their first drink to becoming alcoholics. view more (2008-04-24)
Researchers discover gene for branchio-oculo-facial syndrome
In a collaborative effort, researchers from Boston University School of Medicine (BUSM) have discovered that deletions or mutations within the TFAP2A gene (Activating Enhancer-Binding Protein) result in the distinctive clefting disorder Branchio-Oculo-Facial syndrome (BOFS). view more (2008-04-24)
Inherited cancer mutation is widespread in America
A gene mutation responsible for the most common form of inherited colon cancer is older and more common than formerly believed, according to a recent study. view more (2008-04-18)
Award-winning study says back pain may be in your genes
What do you learn by looking at the spines of hundreds of Finnish twins? If you are the international team of researchers behind the Twin Spine Study, you find compelling proof that back pain problems may be more a matter of genetics than physical strain. view more (2008-04-09)
Researchers discover gene behind devastating vitamin B12-related disorder
Swiss, British and Canadian researchers have identified the gene responsible for a rare but serious genetic disorder and have simultaneously provided more clues as to how vitamin B12 works in the body. Their results will be published April 3 in the New England Journal of Medicine. view more (2008-04-03)
K-State contributions to red flour beetle genome sequencing featured in March 27 issue of Nature
Most of us hate to find the red flour beetle living happily in the flour sack in our pantries. But for several scientists at Kansas State University, and many others throughout the world, this pest of stored grain and grain products is the best organism for studying genetics. view more (2008-03-24)
Scientists find color vision system independent of motion detection
The vision system used to process color is separate from that used to detect motion, according to a new study by researchers at New York University's Center for Developmental Genetics and in the Department of Genetics and Neurobiology at Germany's University of Würzburg. view more (2008-03-20)
Human Proteinpedia, a portal to share human protein data among the scientific community
Today, scientists have access to a large amount of biological information through the Internet. Nevertheless, these databases do not always have the endorsement of experimental evidence, and are usually distributed in several web locations, a fact that makes information retrieval difficult to achieve. view more (2008-03-17)
Scientists uncover further steps leading to celiac disease
Scientists who last year identified a new genetic risk factor for coeliac disease, have, following continued research, discovered an additional seven gene regions implicated in causing the condition. view more (2008-03-03)
Out-of-whack protein may boost Parkinson's
A single change in a protein may play a role in whether someone develops Parkinson's disease, say University of Florida Genetics Institute researchers writing in a recent issue of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences. view more (2008-02-27)
