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 researchers find first potential pathogenic mutation for restless legs syndrome
An international team of researchers led by scientists at the Mayo Clinic campus in Florida have found what they believe is the first mutated gene linked to restless legs syndrome, a common neurologic disorder. 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)
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)
U of MN researchers identify ataxia gene
Researchers at the University of Minnesota Medical School have discovered the gene responsible for a type of ataxia, an incurable degenerative brain disease affecting movement and coordination. view more (2006-01-23)
New evidence of radiation risk in childhood leukaemia
Ionising radiation has long been recognised as a cause of leukaemia in exposed children. But delegates at a conference in London today (Tuesday 7 September) will hear how ground-breaking research is now providing evidence that the children of men exposed to radiation may also be at increased risk of developing leukaemia. view more (2004-09-05)
Genetic mutation causes familial susceptibility for degenerative brain disease
Mutation of a gene that helps proteins migrate in and out of the cell's genetic command center - the nucleus - puts some families at higher risk for the degenerative brain disease acute necrotizing encephalopathy (ANE). view more (2009-01-07)
Families shed light on likely causative gene for Alzheimer's
The genetic profile of two large Georgia families with high rates of late-onset Alzheimer's disease points to a gene that may cause the disease, researchers say. view more (2008-05-15)
How genetic malfunction causes a form of retardation
Researchers have discovered that the genetic malfunction that causes a form of mental retardation called Noonan Syndrome (NS) produces an imbalance in the genesis of two types of cells in the developing embryonic brain. view more (2007-04-19)
Mutation in renin gene linked to inherited kidney disease
A mutation in a gene that helps regulate high blood pressure is a cause of inherited kidney disease, according to a new study by researchers at Wake Forest University School of Medicine, Charles University in Prague and colleagues. view more (2009-08-19)
Scientists discover possible new treatment for genetic diseases
Scientists from Imperial College London, the University of Leicester, and Hammersmith Hospital have found a way to stop certain types of genetic diseases from occurring by modifying the way DNA is turned into proteins. The research published in this month's Proceedings of the National Academy of Science shows how the researchers have been able to... view more... (2003-03-14)
Presence of gene mutation helps guide thyroid cancer treatment
A specific gene mutation may be useful in predicting the level of aggression of thyroid cancer and help guide treatment options and follow-up care, according to new study findings. view more (2007-09-06)
Research sheds light on cause of Down syndrome and other genetic disorders
Scientists have a better understanding of what causes an abnormal number of chromosomes in offspring, a condition called aneuploidy that encompasses the most common genetic disorders in humans, such as Down syndrome, and is a leading cause of pregnancy loss. view more (2009-07-20)
New links in the cystic fibrosis chain uncover potential therapeutics
Cystic fibrosis (CF) is an inherited disease caused by mutations in the CFTR gene. Each mutation has number of effects on the cells of the lungs. view more (2007-10-19)
Ancient DNA reveals that some Neanderthals were redheads
Ancient DNA retrieved from the bones of two Neanderthals suggests that at least some of them had red hair and pale skin, scientists report this week in the journal Science. view more (2007-10-26)
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)
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)
Sun exposure early in life linked to specific skin cancer gene mutation
Skin cancers often contain different gene mutations, but just how these mutations contribute to the cause of melanomas has been a mystery. view more (2007-06-11)
Study questions 'cost of complexity' in evolution
Higher organisms do not have a "cost of complexity" - or slowdown in the evolution of complex traits - according to a report by researchers at Yale and Washington University in Nature. view more (2008-04-01)
