Pol3 mutation disrupts organ growth
The cellular mechanism that turns DNA into all of the thousands of proteins that make up a human body is itself both intricate and interesting. view more (2007-11-27)
Scientists encouraged by new mouse model's similarities to human ALS
A new mouse model of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) closely resembles humans with the paralyzing disorder, researchers at Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis report. view more (2009-10-13)
New research on mutation in yeast can enhance understanding of human diseases
Yeast, a model organism heavily relied upon for studying basic biological processes as they relate to human health, mutates in a distinctly different pattern than other model organisms, a finding that brings researchers closer to understanding the role of evolutionary genetics in human diseases and cancer. view more (2008-06-20)
Researchers genetically link Lou Gehrig's disease in humans to dog disease
An incurable, paralyzing disease in humans is now genetically linked to a similar disease in dogs. Researchers from the University of Missouri and the Broad Institute have found that the genetic mutation responsible for degenerative myelopathy (DM) in dogs is the same mutation that causes amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), the human disease also... view more...

Colorectal cancer : A new way of increasing the efficacy of chemotherapy
Inserm and CNRS research scientists and doctors at the Institut Curie have demonstrated the influence of the status - mutated or functional - of the tumour suppressor gene p53 in the response of colorectal cancer to chemotherapy. Tumours in which the p53 gene is mutated respond less well to treatment. However, by adding another agent, researchers... view more... (2004-02-27)
Second gene discovered for recessive form of brittle bone disease
Researchers at the National Institutes of Health and other institutions have found a second genetic defect that accounts for previously unexplained forms of osteogenesis imperfecta (OI), a disorder that weakens bones, sometimes results in frequent fractures and is sometimes fatal. view more (2007-02-09)
Breast cancer patients with high risk gene diagnosed 6 years earlier than generation before
Women with a deleterious gene mutation are diagnosed with breast cancer six years earlier than relatives of the previous generation who also had the disease and/or ovarian cancer, according to new research from The University of Texas M. D. Anderson Cancer Center. view more (2009-10-12)
Today's white rice is mutation spread by early farmers, researchers say
Some 10,000 years ago white rice evolved from wild red rice and began spreading around the globe. But how did this happen? view more (2007-08-20)
Discovery of genetic mutation in Leigh syndrome
Researchers at the Montreal Neurological Institute and Hospital (The Neuro), McGill University have discovered a genetic mutation underlying late-onset Leigh syndrome, a rare inherited metabolic disorder characterized by the degeneration of the central nervous system. view more (2009-08-11)
Mayo Clinic Researchers Find Gene That Contributes to Two Different and Common Neurological Movement Disorders
Researchers at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida and their collaborators worldwide have discovered that a single gene promotes development of essential tremor in some patients and Parkinson's disease in others. view more (2009-09-02)
Genetic links to fungal infection risk identified
Two genetic mutations that may put individuals at increased risk of fungal infections have been identified by scientists from UCL and Radboud University, increasing understanding about the genetic basis of these infections and potentially aiding the development of new treatments. view more (2009-10-29)
Cancer researchers link DICER1 gene mutation to rare childhood cancer
Research published today in Science Express from the journal Science demonstrates the first definitive link between mutations in the gene DICER1 and cancer. view more (2009-06-26)
Stowers scientists clarify role of tumor suppressor gene
Jiwang Zhang, Ph.D., formerly a Senior Research Associate at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research, and Linheng Li, Ph.D., Associate Investigator, are credited as the first and last authors, respectively, on a paper highlighting several previously unknown functions of phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN), an important tumor suppressor gene. view more (2006-04-24)
New link between estrogen and breast cancer
The female sex hormone estrogen turns on a gene linked to breast cancer, according to new research by Brisbane scientists. view more (2007-08-27)
EMSY: a new gene for breast/ovarian cancer
A new human breast and ovarian cancer gene has just been described by investigators in the last issue of the journal Cell. The gene, called EMSY, also characterises a subset of breast cancer with poorer survival, which makes it a potentially important diagnostic tool. view more (2003-12-10)
Jefferson Scientists Identify Gene Mutation Potentially Involved in Breast Cancer Initiation
Researchers at Jefferson Medical College and the Kimmel Cancer Center at Thomas Jefferson University in Philadelphia and at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York have found evidence suggesting that a mutation in a gene that normally helps block the formation of breast tumors could play a role in the initiation of a major form of... view more...

Epilepsy genes may cancel each other
Inheriting two genetic mutations that can individually cause epilepsy might actually be "seizure-protective," said Baylor College of Medicine researchers in a report that appears online today in the journal Nature Neuroscience. view more (2007-11-05)
Women often opt to surgically remove their breasts, ovaries to reduce cancer risk
Many women at high risk for breast or ovarian cancer are choosing to undergo surgery as a precautionary measure to decrease their cancer risk. view more (2009-08-06)
Abnormal Brain Circuits May Prevent Movement Disorder
Most people who carry a genetic mutation for a movement disorder called dystonia will never develop symptoms, a phenomenon that has puzzled scientists since the first genetic mutation was identified in the 1990's. view more (2009-08-06)
Researchers identify the gene responsible for a rare form of congenital anemia
The latest electronic edition of the journal Nature Genetics reports the discovery of a new gene responsible for congenital sideroblastic anemia, a rare disease, mainly characterized by the presence of ringed sideroblasts in the patients' bone marrow. view more (2009-05-11)
