Understanding and diagnosing an inherited pain syndrome
Yale School of Medicine researchers report the first demonstration that a single mutation in a human sodium channel gene can trigger pain in people with an inherited pain syndrome known as primary erythromelalgia, according to a study published this month in the journal Brain. view more (2005-07-14)
New mutation that causes atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome identified
Researchers from the University of Newcastle, UK, have identified a novel genetic change that causes one form of atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome (aHUS) a rare, chronic disease that causes kidney failure and which can run in families. view more (2006-10-31)

Breast cancer prevention practices vary across Canada
Breast cancer preventive practices for Canadian women carrying the cancer gene vary across the country, says University of Toronto research, and many women are not taking advantage of the options available. view more (2007-08-15)
University of Pittsburgh discovers genetic 'shut down' trigger in healthy immune cells
A fundamental genetic mechanism that shuts down an important gene in healthy immune system cells has been discovered that could one day lead to new therapies against infections, leukemia and other cancers. view more (2007-05-10)
Not only the gene itself, its abnormal regulation can also trigger short stature
A specific gene is particularly frequently involved in the development of short stature. Researchers in Heidelberg have now discovered that sequences of genetic material on the X and Y chromosome that regulate this gene are also crucial for growth in children. view more (2009-08-26)
CSHL researchers discover three new genes that cause lung cancer
Researchers at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) have discovered three genes that interact with cancerous results in 20% of lung cancers. view more (2007-10-09)
Stressed cells spark DNA repair missteps and speed evolution
When Dr. Susan Rosenberg, professor of molecular and human genetics at Baylor College of Medicine, first published her finding that the mutation rate increased in bacteria stressed by starvation, sometimes resulting in a rare change that benefited the bacteria, it was controversial. view more (2005-09-16)
Breast Cancer Gene Reviewed
PRESS CONFERENCE - 0930 H Thursday 26 September at Cancer Research UK, 44 Lincoln's Inn Fields, London WC2A 3PX, UK; Further information from Cancer Research UK Press Office (see below). A review article in this week's issue of THE LANCET assesses the impact of BRCA1 gene mutations-known to be strongly associated with an increased risk of breast... view more... (2002-09-25)
Mutation responsible for cystic fibrosis also involved in muscle atrophy
Patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) usually experience significant muscle loss, a symptom traditionally considered to be a secondary complication of the devastating genetic disease. view more (2009-07-31)
Study finds BRAF mutations in colorectal cancer cause resistance to anti-EGFR therapy
European researchers have found that metastatic colorectal cancer patients with a mutation in the BRAF gene do not respond to anti-EGFR therapy with cetuximab and panitumumab. view more (2008-10-23)
M.I.N.D. Institute researchers call for fragile X testing throughout the lifespan
Writing in this week's Journal of the American Medical Association, UC Davis M.I.N.D. Institute researchers urge physicians to test for mutations of the fragile X gene in patients of all ages. view more (2008-11-26)
Seasonal Affective Disorder May Be Linked to Genetic Mutation, Study Suggests
With the days shortening toward winter, many people will begin to experience the winter blahs. For some, the effect can be devastating. view more (2008-11-04)
Gene mingling increases sudden death risk
A multi-national research team has discovered that two genetic factors converge to increase the risk of sudden cardiac death. view more (2009-10-13)
New research finds possible genetic link to cause of pregnancy loss and disorders
Scientists at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL) have published new findings about a cause of a condition at the root of genetic disorders such as Down Syndrome, pregnancy loss and infertility. view more (2009-07-22)
Mayo Clinic Cancer Center finds possible genetic link to pancreatic cancer
Mayo Clinic researchers have found the risk of developing pancreatic cancer at a young age (under 60) to be twice as high for people who carry a mutation of the gene that causes cystic fibrosis, compared to noncarriers. view more (2005-10-21)
A surprise 'spark' for pre-cancerous colon polyps
Researchers at Huntsman Cancer Institute (HCI) at the University of Utah studied the events leading to colon cancer and found that an unexpected protein serves as the "spark" that triggers formation of colon polyps, the precursors to cancerous tumors. view more (2009-05-15)
Breast cancer risk amplified by additional genes in combo with BRCA mutation
Many women with a faulty breast cancer gene could be at greater risk of the disease due to extra risk-amplifying genes, according to research published this month in the American Journal of Human Genetics. view more (2008-04-17)
Human testes may multiply mutations
The testes in humans may act as mutation multipliers that raise the odds of passing improved DNA to offspring - but that can also backfire by increasing the frequency of certain diseases. view more (2007-08-28)
Defective genes increase breast cancer risk in young women to a greater extent than previously estimated
A joint study between St Mary's Hospital, the Paterson Institute, Christie Hospital, The University of Manchester, Guys Hospital in London, and Cambridge University researching breast cancer has found that women with defects in certain genes have a higher chance of developing breast cancer when they are young than previous estimates. The report... view more... (2003-04-02)
