New gene linked to bipolar disorder
A new gene linked to both depression and bipolar disorder has been identified by UCL (University College London) and Danish researchers. view more (2006-10-04)
Iron overload
One in every three hundred people in the US and UK has the potential to develop hemochromatosis, a disorder which overloads the body with iron. So why do only some of them go on to develop the disease? American scientists have been studying the genetic make-up of patients with hemochromatosis, a potentially fatal disease. Sufferers have high... view more... (2001-04-04)

New gene for rheumatism identified
A genetic variant that can explain the occurrence of a type of rheumatic disorder called SLE has been identified by a research team at Uppsala University, Sweden. The team, led by Associate Professor Marta Alarc'łn at the Rudbeck Laboratory, is presenting its finding in the latest issue of the scientific journal Nature Genetics. Nearly 6,000... view more...

Genetic predisposition may play a role in anxiety disorders
Finnish scientists have identified genes that may predispose to anxiety disorders. Research conducted under the supervision of Academy Research Fellow Iiris Hovatta have focused on genes that influence human behaviour, and some of the studied genes show a statistical association with specific anxiety disorders. view more (2008-08-28)

The key of epilepsy can be in LGI1/Epitempina gene
Researchers of the Hospital of San Sebastian and the Biomedicine Institute of Valencia have discovered the genetic basis of hereditary epilepsy. The work leaded by the researchers Adolfo Lopez de Munain and Jordi Perez Tur has analysed the effect of the gene called LGI1/Epitempina. Temporal lateral epilepsy is the type of epilepsy that affects the... view more... (2002-05-07)

Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET-which investigated the occurrence of severe psychotic illness in adults with Prader Willi syndrome-suggest that susceptibility to psychotic illness in the general population could be influenced by genetic abnormalities on chromosome 15. view more (2002-01-11)
The first autism disease genes
The autistic disorder, a neurodevelopmental disease first described in 1943, represents a challenge for treatment and a puzzle for research. Alongside Asperger syndrome, a milder form of the disorder, autism is classified in the continuum of various Autism Spectrum Disorders (ASD), all of which are characterized by deficits in language, social... view more...
