Scientists at Scripps Research identify a mutation that causes inflammatory bowel disease
A team of scientists at The Scripps Research Institute has linked a mouse mutation to an increased susceptibility for developing inflammatory bowel disease -- represented in humans as Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis, which together are estimated to affect more than a million people in the United States. view more (2009-02-11)
CSHL scientists clarify editing error underlying genetic neurodegenerative disease
Two molecular biologists at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory have uncovered important new details about how a gene mutation causes a cellular editing error that results in a devastating disease called pontocerebellar hypoplasia (PCH). view more (2009-01-29)

Standard chemo works better against metastatic BRCA1/2 breast cancer than against sporadic tumors
The first study to investigate the effects of chemotherapy on metastatic breast cancer in women with the BRCA1 or BRCA2 gene mutation has shown that standard chemotherapy works better in these patients than in women without the BRCA1/2 mutation. view more (2008-04-17)
Researchers discover key mechanism to emergence of deadly strep bacteria
The incidence of serious strep infections has risen dramatically in the last three decades, and this increase is largely attributed to the spread around the globe of a single strain of strep known as the invasive M1T1 clone. view more (2007-07-16)
Mutation of the COX2 gene can double or treble a woman's risk of ovarian cancer
Researchers in Portugal have discovered that a specific mutation of the COX2 gene seems to play a role in the onset of ovarian cancer, increasing women's susceptibility to developing the disease. view more (2007-09-26)
Children's Hospital researchers identify genetic mutation that may predict organ rejection
Using a novel combination of cutting-edge technologies to scan the human genome, researchers at Children's Hospital of Pittsburgh of UPMC have identified a genetic mutation that identifies transplant recipients who experience rejection. view more (2008-09-16)

Penn Study Provides First Clear Idea of How Rare Bone Disease Progresses
An international team of scientists, led by researchers at the University of Pennsylvania School of Medicine, is taking the first step in developing a treatment for a rare genetic disorder called fibrodysplasia ossificans progressiva (FOP), in which the body's skeletal muscles and soft connective tissue turns to bone, immobilizing patients over a... view more...

Researchers develop mouse model of autism spectrum disorders
Howard Hughes Medical Institute researchers have genetically engineered mice that harbor the same genetic mutation found in some people with autism and Asperger syndrome. view more (2007-09-07)
New pathway provides more clues about BRCA1 role in breast cancer
A breast cancer gene's newly discovered role in repairing damaged DNA may help explain why women who inherit a mutated copy of the gene are at increased risk for developing both breast and ovarian cancer. view more (2008-01-16)
