Tiny, spontaneous gene mutations may boost autism risk
Tiny gene mutations, each individually rare, pose more risk for autism than had been previously thought, suggests a study funded in part by the National Institute of Mental Health, a component of the National Institutes of Health. view more (2007-03-16)
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)
NIH study reveals incidence, precursors and psychiatric sequelae of major psychiatric disorders
A new study by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA) presents results on the first onset of substance use disorders (i.e., alcohol and drug abuse and dependence) and major mood and anxiety disorders, based on Wave 2 of the National Epidemiologic Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions (NESARC). view more (2008-04-23)
Toward a test for detecting in childhood the risk of developing bipolar disorder and schizophrenia
A team from Centre de recherche Université Laval Robert-Giffard (CRULRG) has made significant progress toward finding a way to determine whether a child is likely to one day suffer from bipolar disorder or schizophrenia. view more (2007-03-15)

Scientists reveal secrets of Homer's Cyclops to help people with Holoprosencephaly
Homer's Cyclops might be myth, but a disorder that can cause babies to be born with only one eye is very real. Scientists from Cleveland, Ohio, and Paris, France, reached an important milestone in understanding one of the molecular causes of a rare, but serious birth defect, Holoprosencephaly. view more (2007-01-18)
Link between a sleep-related breathing disorder and increased heart rate variability
A sleep-related breathing disorder, common in heart failure, increases one's heart rate variability. Further, central sleep apnea (CSA) and obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) produce different patterns of heart rate variability, which are likely to reflect the different pathophysiological mechanisms involved. view more (2007-11-01)
Study links ADHD with sleep problems in adolescents
A study in the May 1 issue of the journal SLEEP shows that adolescents with a childhood diagnosis of Attention Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) are more likely to have current and lifetime sleep problems and disorders, regardless of the severity of current ADHD symptoms. view more (2009-05-01)
Largest study of its kind implicates gene abnormalities in bipolar disorder
The largest genetic analysis of its kind to date for bipolar disorder has implicated machinery involved in the balance of sodium and calcium in brain cells. view more (2008-08-18)
Family study bolsters link between pesticides and Parkinson's
For the first time, the association between Parkinson's disease and exposure to pesticides has been shown in patients with the neurological disorder compared with their unaffected relatives, according to a study in the online open access journal BMC Neurology. view more (2008-03-28)
A single gene makes the chicken a victim
Feather pecking is a common and serious behavioural disorder in laying hens around the world. The chickens peck and pull the feathers of their victims, and this may lead to cannibalism.

Behavior therapy plus medication may help teens with depression and substance use disorders
The antidepressant fluoxetine combined with cognitive behavioral therapy appears as effective for treating depression among teens who also have substance use disorders as among those without substance abuse problems. view more (2007-11-06)
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)
Post-abortion syndrome
Anti-abortion groups now characterise abortion as trauma, damaging two people: the foetus and the woman undergoing the procedure.
