Fc gamma receptor gene variants associated with rheumatoid arthritis
People with a specific combination of variants of two genes, encoding two different receptors for the antibody Fc gamma, are three times more likely to develop rheumatoid arthritis than individuals with different variant combinations.   view more (2005-11-10)

Specific regions of brain implicated in anorexia nervosa, finds Univ. of Pittsburgh study
Just why those with anorexia nervosa are driven to be excessively thin and seem unaware of the seriousness of their condition could be due to over-activity of a chemical system found in a region deep inside the brain, a University of Pittsburgh study suggests.   view more (2005-07-07)
