Researchers make progress in studying genetic traits of India-born populations
Despite the fact that the people of India constitute more than one-sixth of the world's entire population, they have been underrepresented in studies related to genetic diseases. view more (2006-12-26)
DNA provides 'smoking gun' in the case of the missing songbirds
It sounds like a tale straight from "CSI": The bully invades a home and does away with the victim, then is ultimately found out with the help of DNA evidence. view more (2008-11-05)
Genetic Heterogeneity of Icelanders
Research undertaken by Professor Einar 'rnason at the University of Iceland, Reykjavik and published in the January 2003 issue of Annals of Human Genetics highlights the inaccuracy of claims that Icelanders are a 'genetically homogenous' population. Professor 'rnason explains in his article: "Recently, statements have been made about a... view more... (2003-02-07)
Geographic isolation drives the evolution of a hot springs microbe
Sulfolobus islandicus, a microbe that can live in boiling acid, is offering up its secrets to researchers hardy enough to capture it from the volcanic hot springs where it thrives. view more (2009-05-28)
If your first cigarette gave you a buzz and you now smoke, a gene may be to blame
Anyone who has ever tried smoking probably remembers that first cigarette vividly. For some, it brought a wave of nausea or a nasty coughing fit. For others, those first puffs also came with a rush of pleasure or "buzz." view more (2008-08-11)
Researchers find new gene linked to breast cancer
Researchers in a multicenter international study have identified a new gene that, if mutated, may increase a woman's risk of breast cancer by more than a third. view more (2007-10-08)
Genetic variation helps to understand predisposition to schizophrenia
Scientists have provided new insight into how a gene is related to schizophrenia. view more (2007-08-10)
GENETICS OF BLOOD CLOTTING FACTORS (pp 83, 101)
People with a family history of coronary heart disease are thought more likely to develop the disease themselves, because of a combination of genetic and shared environmental factors. Researchers use twin or adoption studies to establish whether genetic or environmental factors are more important in the development of a particular disease. There... view more... (2001-01-11)
London School of Hygiene to play key role in global collaboration on adverse drug reactions
The London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine is to be a key player in the first global research collaboration aimed at identifying the genetic markers related to Adverse Drug Reactions (ADRs). view more (2007-09-27)
Researchers identify 5 genetic variations associated with risk of venous thrombosis in women
Researchers have identified new genetic variations that may be associated with the risk of developing nonfatal venous thrombosis in postmenopausal women. view more (2007-02-07)
Genes and environment important in families with history of high cholesterol
Risk of death varies significantly among patients with a family history of high cholesterol (familial hypercholesterolaemia), with many untreated patients reaching a normal life span, finds a study in this week's BMJ. This suggests that strong interactions between genetic and environmental factors are involved in this disorder, and emphasises how... view more... (2001-04-24)
Genetic Variation Associated With Survival Advantage in African Americans With HIV
From the start of the HIV epidemic, it appeared that some of the people who were infected with the virus were able to ward off the fatal effects of the disease longer than others. view more (2009-07-21)
Gene linked to lower breast cancer risk
Dr. Uwe Langsenlehner and colleagues from Medical University Graz in Austria showed that a specific genetic variation in a cytokine gene is associated with lower breast cancer risk. view more (2005-06-06)
Mouse genome will help identify causes of environmental disease
Research on the DNA of 15 mouse strains commonly used in biomedical studies is expected to help scientists determine the genes related to susceptibility to environmental disease. view more (2007-07-30)
Vulnerability to post-traumatic stress disorder runs in families, study shows
Earthquakes have aftershocks - not just the geological kind but the mental kind as well. Just like veterans of war, earthquake survivors can experience post-traumatic stress disorder, depression and anxiety. view more (2008-12-22)
HOPE FOR GENETIC TESTS TO TREAT SCHIZOPHRENIA AND ASTHMA
Scientists are moving a step closer to providing treatment based on a person's genetic profile. Doctors at the Institute of Psychiatry, Kings College, London have found a way to predict the response of an antipsychotic drug called clozapine used for the treatment of schizophrenia. view more (2000-01-04)
Discovery could improve hepatitis C treatment
Walter and Eliza Hall Institute researchers are part of an international team that has discovered a genetic variation that could identify those people infected with hepatitis C who are most likely to benefit from current treatments. view more (2009-09-24)
Gene study supports single main migration across Bering Strait
Did a relatively small number of people from Siberia who trekked across a Bering Strait land bridge some 12,000 years ago give rise to the native peoples of North and South America? view more (2007-11-27)
Cancer researchers seek safe reduction of radiotherapy
University of Manchester scientists will discuss their research aimed at reducing the side effects of radiotherapy without decreasing its effectiveness at the National Cancer Research Institute conference in Birmingham. view more (2007-10-03)
Predators ignore peculiar prey
Rare traits persist in a population because predators detect common forms of prey more easily. view more (2009-05-13)
