Is endotoxin receptor CD14 rs2569190/C-159T gene correlated with chronic hepatitis C?
It is still unknown why the natural history of chronic disease caused by hepatitis C virus (HCV), which currently infects 3% of the world's population, varies from mild in some patients to rapidly progressing in others. view more (2009-08-27)
Childhood obesity link to parents
The relationships between children and their parent of the same gender in the earliest years of life could be the key to understanding why some young people become obese and others do not, new research conducted by the EarlyBird Diabetes Study has shown. view more (2009-07-13)

Scientists work to identify genes that contribute to early heart attack risk
Scientists at Wake Forest University Baptist Medical Center and colleagues at four other medical centers have launched a $10 million multi-year study to identify genes that may contribute to early atherosclerosis. view more (2006-11-30)
University of Leicester is Hub in Network of Excellence for Cancer Research
In a considerable coup for the University of Leicester, the EU has awarded Professor Peter Farmer, of the Departments of Biochemistry and Cancer Studies and Molecular Medicine, a prestigious grant to participate in the establishment of a Europe-wide Network of Excellence. view more (2005-05-10)
Gene elevating breast cancer risk also causes prostate cancer
Cancer is a complex and common disease caused by a combination of both genetic and environmental factors. An inherited predisposition seems to be involved in at least 5-10 per cent of all cases of breast cancer. view more (2007-02-09)
Scientists find new genetic clue to cause of Alzheimer's disease
Variations in a gene known as SORL1 may be a factor in the development of late onset Alzheimer's disease, an international team of researchers has discovered. The genetic clue, which could lead to a better understanding of one cause of Alzheimer's, is reported in Nature Genetics online, Jan. 14, 2007, and was supported in part by the National... view more...

USC researchers identify 'regulatory' genetic sequences that may predict risk for prostate cancer
Researchers at the Keck School of Medicine of the University of Southern California (USC) have identified a novel genetic mechanism that may govern an individual's risk of developing prostate cancer. view more (2009-08-17)
The risk factors of abdominal venous thrombosis
Abdominal venous thrombosis may present as BCS or SVT. Hereditary and acquired risk factors have been implicated in the etiopathogenesis of abdominal venous thrombosis view more (2008-10-13)
Identification of genetic markers for ulcerative colitis could lead to treatment
An international consortium of researchers, including major contribution from a team led by Dr. John D. Rioux, a professor of medicine at the Université de Montréal and the Montreal Heart Institute, has identified genetic markers associated with risk for ulcerative colitis. view more (2009-01-09)
Hopkins researchers release genome data on autism

Scientists show that mitochondrial DNA variants are linked to risk factors for type 2 diabetes
Today, researchers report for the first time that genetic variants in mitochondria-energy-producing structures harboring DNA that are inherited only from the mother-are directly linked to metabolic markers for type 2 diabetes. view more (2007-08-13)
Large European study finds gene variant is no strong risk factor for osteoporosis
Variations in a number of different genes and environmental factors affect an individual's risk for osteoporosis. view more (2006-02-21)
International team identifies 21 new genetic risk factors for Crohn's disease
An international consortium of Crohn's disease researchers has combined data from three independent studies to identify 21 new genetic variants associated with the inflammatory bowel disorder, bringing the total number of risk factors to 32. view more (2008-06-30)
Candidate genes for osteoporesis and obesity
Variants of BMP2 gene as genetic risk factors for osteoporosis Linking specific genes with common, complex diseases like osteoporosis is a tricky business. There are likely to be many genetic as well as environmental and lifestyle causes, and to find them researchers need large populations, abundant genetic markers, and extensive patient data. In... view more... (2003-10-29)
Researchers find a common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease in Asians
Researchers at Mayo Clinic in Jacksonville, Fla. and the National Taiwan University Hospital in Taipei, Taiwan have discovered what to date appears to be the most common genetic risk factor for Parkinson's disease worldwide. view more (2007-01-18)
Fishing for the Origins of Genome Complexity
Biologists at Georgia Tech have provided scientific support for a controversial hypothesis that has divided the fields of evolutionary genomics and evolutionary developmental biology, popularly known as evo devo, for two years. view more (2005-12-16)
