Susceptibility To Psychotic Illness In Prader Willi Syndrome Linked To Gene On Chromosome 15 (p 135)
Authors of a research letter in this week's issue of THE LANCET-which investigated the occurrence of severe psychotic illness in adults with Prader Willi syndrome-suggest that susceptibility to psychotic illness in the general population could be influenced by genetic abnormalities on chromosome 15. view more (2002-01-11)
Further legitimization of fibromyalgia as a true medical condition
Fibromyalgia, a chronic, widespread pain in muscles and soft tissues accompanied by fatigue, is a fairly common condition that does not manifest any structural damage in an organ. view more (2007-06-26)
Men behaving badly
BAD-TEMPERED? Nervous? Easily reduced to tears? If you are a man, you could be suffering from irritable male syndrome. This newly recognised condition plays havoc with male animals, temporarily turning confident, chest-beating Tarzans into withdrawn, grumpy wimps. And there`s some evidence that... view more...

SARS: No evidence that any of the treatments worked
The SARS virus set alarm bells ringing across the world when it first appeared in 2002, but now a review of the effectiveness of the treatments used against it has found no evidence that any of them worked. view more (2006-09-12)
Gene discovery may shed light on kidney disease
In a finding that may have broader implications for understanding kidney disorders, genetics researchers at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have identified a second gene that gives rise to Alagille syndrome, a genetic developmental disease that affects multiple organs. view more (2006-08-01)
RSRF-Funded Research Links Rett Syndrome to Mitochondrial Gene
New research from the lab of Adrian Bird, a molecular geneticist at the University of Edinburgh, Scotland, reveals that abnormally high levels of a protein called Uqcrc1 in the brains of mouse models of Rett Syndrome cause mitochondria—-the cells' powerhouses—to work overtime. view more (2006-06-26)
Nature press release on DiGeorge syndrome paper
[410097] LIFELINES: CATCH 22 (pp97–101) In the 1 March issue of Nature, researchers from Baylor College of Medicine in Texas pinpoint the gene behind one of the most common genetic diseases to affect humans: DiGeorge syndrome. The disease results in a broad spectrum of symptoms, including heart abnormalities, disruption of the immune system... view more... (2001-02-23)

Study suggests new way to screen infants for fetal alcohol syndrome
Children who have been diagnosed with Fetal Alcohol Syndrome (FAS) are more likely to have serious psychiatric and behavioral problems later in life, including a higher risk for dropping out of school, unemployment, and criminal behavior. view more (2008-03-06)
Protein 'chatter' linked to cancer activation
Scientists have found the existence of cross-talk between human chromosome ends and the protein complexes central to the stability of the entire human genome, a "chat" that contributes to cancer development. view more (2007-08-14)
Dengue and other hemorrhagic fevers: Towards a first potential treatment
Globally, 60 to 100 million people are hit by Dengue, a viral disease transmitted by mosquitoes of the genus Aedes. The most severe form of this disease, which causes blood loss, can lead to a fatal shock-like state (Dengue Shock Syndrome) with or without associated haemorrhage, and is currently increasing in tropical countries. view more (2006-12-26)
Scans spot hidden tumors in rare cancer syndrome
Researchers at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute report that full-body PET/CT scanning detected unsuspected, treatable tumors in 3 of 15 patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome (LFS), a rare genetic cancer syndrome for which no screening tests have been recommended. view more (2008-03-19)
