Clinical tests begin on medication to correct Fragile X defect
NIH-supported scientists at Seaside Therapeutics in Cambridge, Mass., are beginning a clinical trial of a potential medication designed to correct a central neurochemical defect underlying Fragile X syndrome, the most common inherited cause of intellectual disability. view more (2009-11-03)
Prenatal biochemical screening only detects half of chromosomal abnormalities
Prenatal biochemical screening tests are widely used to look for chromosomal abnormalities in the fetus which can lead to serious handicap, or even death during gestation or in the first few days after birth. view more (2008-06-02)
Researchers identify fifth gene responsible for Joubert syndrome
An international study by researchers at Seattle Children's Hospital Research Institute, the University of Washington School of Medicine, and Radboud University in Nijmegen, Netherlands has identified a new genetic cause for Joubert syndrome (JS). view more (2007-06-12)
Rare mutation causes early heart disease and metabolic syndrome
Yale School of Medicine researchers have identified a rare defect in a single gene that poses a substantial risk for metabolic syndrome and early heart disease, the leading cause of death worldwide. view more (2007-03-02)
Mutant gene causes severe kidney disease in infants
Scientists at the University of Michigan Medical School have discovered a previously unknown cause for a severe, early-onset form of kidney disease and renal failure in children: recessive mutations in a gene called phospholipase C epsilon or PLCE1. view more (2006-11-06)
UVa Scientists Hot on Trail of Therapies for Deadly Lung Failure
Researchers at the University of Virginia Health System have identified a molecular target, or receptor, for potential drugs to treat acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), a sudden and life-threatening failure of the lung. view more (2006-02-22)
Researchers hope to provide chronic fatigue syndrome answers
One of the most difficult things for people suffering from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) is that many believe the condition to be a psychological, not physical affliction. view more (2007-12-19)
Metabolic syndrome -- don't blame the belly fat
Abdominal fat, the spare tire that many of us carry, has long been implicated as a primary suspect in causing the metabolic syndrome, a cluster of conditions that includes the most dangerous heart attack risk factors: prediabetes, diabetes, high blood pressure, and changes in cholesterol. view more (2007-07-17)
Cholesterol could be key to treating fetal alcohol syndrome
Small amounts of alcohol can interfere with the growth of a fetus, but added cholesterol may help prevent a wide array of neurological and physical defects from alcohol exposure, according to a new study in laboratory fish. view more (2007-03-09)

Gaza strip families give first clue to condition causing blindness and tooth decay
Scientists studying an inherited condition resulting in blindness and crumbling teeth have found a single defective gene can affect both eye function and normal tooth development. view more (2009-02-12)
Researchers link two more genes to sudden infant death syndrome
Recent discoveries at Mayo Clinic added two more cardiac genes to the list of potential links to sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS), increasing the possibility that genetic defects of the heart may cause up to 15 percent of SIDS cases. view more (2006-05-19)
Lap-band weight-loss surgery can reverse metabolic syndrome in obese teens
A new study of obese adolescents has shown that laparoscopic gastric banding surgery -- the "Lap-Band" procedure -- not only helps them achieve significant weight loss but can also improve and even reverse metabolic syndrome, reducing their risk for cardiovascular disease and diabetes. view more (2009-07-02)
Blood marker helps predict prognosis among those with abdominal infection
Monitoring blood levels of a compound known as procalcitonin in patients with peritonitis (a serious intra-abdominal infection) could help identify patients at increased risk of organ failure and death. view more (2007-02-20)
Fate in fly sensory organ precursor cells could explain human immune disorder
Notch signaling helps determine the fate of a number of different cell types in a variety of organisms, including humans. In an article that appears in the current issue of Nature Cell Biology, researchers at Baylor College of Medicine report that a new finding about the Notch signaling pathway in sensory organ precursor cells in the fruit fly... view more...

Botox for newborns
Botulinum toxin, also called Botox, is best known as one of the most commonly used molecules to reduce wrinkles. It is also known as one of the most poisonous naturally occurring substances. view more (2008-03-18)
New chromosomal abnormality identified in leukemia associated with Down syndrome
Researchers identified a new chromosomal abnormality in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) that appears to work in concert with another mutation to give rise to cancer. This latest anomaly is particularly common in children with Down syndrome. view more (2009-10-19)
New Down syndrome gene identified by Stanford/Packard scientists
Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine and Lucile Packard Children's Hospital have identified one possible cause of mental retardation in Down syndrome. view more (2006-07-06)
Researchers alleviate symptoms of Rett syndrome in mice
Rett syndrome is a debilitating neurological disorder occurring primarily in girls. While some existing therapies might ease particular symptoms of the condition, there is no current way to address the syndrome at a molecular level. view more (2006-02-02)
Inherited cancer mutation is widespread in America
A gene mutation responsible for the most common form of inherited colon cancer is older and more common than formerly believed, according to a recent study. view more (2008-04-18)
