Link between assisted reproduction techniques and genetic disruption
Evidence that assisted reproduction techniques may carry a risk of genetic 'imprinting disorders' in the resulting babies, emerges in a study published in the Journal of Medical Genetics. To assess the likely risk of genetic disruption, geneticists from the University of Birmingham and the West Midlands Genetics Service assessed the birth... view more... (2003-01-14)

Vibrating computer games should carry health warnings
Prolonged use of vibrating computer games by children may be linked to a condition known as hand-arm vibration syndrome and should carry health warnings, suggest researchers in this week's BMJ. view more (2002-01-30)
Chronic fatigue syndrome linked to stomach virus

Deaf-blind woman deafer than deaf-blind man
Dutch researcher Ronald Pennings has found new clinical and genetic characteristics for two different inherited syndromes that cause deaf-blindness. One of the two syndromes appears to cause more hearing impairment in women than in men. Pennings investigated Wolfram syndrome and Usher syndrome. These are two inherited syndromes that cause both... view more... (2004-05-07)
New target for obesity and related metabolic disorders
A new study reveals an attractive new target for therapies aimed at the treatment of obesity and related metabolic disorders, researchers report in the March Cell Metabolism. view more (2006-03-08)
Family therapy helps get young ME sufferers back to school
Family therapy seems to help get young sufferers of chronic fatigue syndrome (ME) back to school, suggests research in the Archives of Disease in Childhood. ME is characterised by physical and mental fatigue. In children, symptoms include muscle pain, headache, sore throat and sleepiness. And specialist treatment often requires long periods away... view more... (2002-01-23)
Researchers study multi-purpose drug
Researchers at the University of Rochester Medical Center today announced that they have launched a study to determine whether an experimental drug, rimonabant, can slow atherosclerosis, the fatty build-up in arteries that creates heart attack risk. view more (2006-02-02)
Study offers treatment hope for Rett syndrome

New insight into human ciliopathy
In the September 1st issue of G&D, Dr. Karen Oegema (UCSD) and colleagues identify the molecular basis of the lethal developmental disorder, hydrolethalus syndrome, and reveal that hydrolethalus syndrome actually belongs to the emerging class of human ciliopathy diseases. view more (2009-08-04)

Discovery of the genetic basis of two diseases
In a first article, Loeys et al describe a new aortic aneurysm syndrome characterized by the main triad of hypertelorism, bifid uvula and/or cleft palate and aortic aneurysms with arterial tortuosity. This new entity also presents with alterations of the skeletal, craniofacial, neurocognitve development. Importantly, the nature of the aortic... view more... (2005-03-17)
