Chromosome disorders in sex cells cause infertility, miscarriage and irregular numbers of chromosomes (aneuploidy) in neonates. A new study from Karolinska Institutet published in the scientific journal Nature Genetics shows how chromosome disorders can arise when sex cells are formed. view more (2007-07-09)
Understanding and diagnosing an inherited pain syndrome
Yale School of Medicine researchers report the first demonstration that a single mutation in a human sodium channel gene can trigger pain in people with an inherited pain syndrome known as primary erythromelalgia, according to a study published this month in the journal Brain. view more (2005-07-14)
Bisphenol A linked to metabolic syndrome in human tissue
New research from the University of Cincinnati (UC) implicates the primary chemical used to produce hard plastics-bisphenol A (BPA)-as a risk factor for metabolic syndrome and its consequences. view more (2008-09-05)
Dying bats in the Northeast remain a mystery
Investigations continue into the cause of a mysterious illness that has resulted in the deaths of thousands of bats since March 2008. At more than 25 caves and mines in the northeastern U.S, bats exhibiting a condition now referred to as "white-nosed syndrome" have been dying. view more (2008-05-09)
Accumulated bits of a cell's own DNA can trigger autoimmune disease
A security system wired within every cell to detect the presence of rogue viral DNA can sometimes go awry, triggering an autoimmune response to single-stranded bits of the cell's own DNA, according to a report in the August 22nd issue of the journal Cell, a Cell Press publication. view more (2008-08-22)
Stem cell research produces a key discovery for Fragile X Syndrome
An important finding has been made by McMaster researchers about Fragile X Syndrome (FXS), a sex-linked genetic disorder that affects approximately one in 4,000 males and one in 6,000 females. view more (2007-09-11)
Early statin therapy for patients with acute coronary syndromes reduces death, cardiovascular events
Early, intensive therapy with statin medications reduces death and cardiovascular events for patients who have had heart attacks or other acute heart events. view more (2006-09-26)
Metabolic syndrome heightens risk for development of uric-acid kidney stones
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center have found that patients suffering from the metabolic syndrome - a cluster of conditions that increases the risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes - also have a propensity to develop highly acidic urine, which increases the risk of developing kidney stones. view more (2007-09-13)

Scientists Discover Cause Of Leukaemia That Halted Treatment Trial For 'Baby-in-a-Bubble' Syndrome
Medical Research Council (MRC) scientists have helped establish the cause of the leukaemia which developed in two young patients taking part in a pioneering gene therapy trial to treat the fatal 'baby-in-a-bubble' syndrome, severe combined immunodeficiency (X-SCID). The trial at the Necker-Enfants Malades clinic in Paris was stopped last year due... view more... (2003-10-16)
Causative gene for human "lobster claw" syndrome identified
A new study using mouse "knockouts" shows that genes that control limb formation in insects have similar functions in mammals. Split hand/foot malformation (SHFM) or ectrodactyly (the "lobster claw" anomaly), is a severe congenital malformation syndrome characterised by a profound median cleft of the hands and/or feet, typically associated with... view more...

Pediatricians call for a cohesive definition of metabolic syndrome in children
Metabolic syndrome in children represents a potentially serious threat to health in adulthood, yet many parents and caregivers do not have a clear idea of what metabolic syndrome is and why it is dangerous. view more (2008-01-11)
Fragile X retardation syndrome corrected in mice
Researchers working with mice have significantly alleviated a wide range of abnormalities due to fragile X syndrome by altering only a single gene, countering the effects of the fragile X mutation. view more (2007-12-20)
Researchers uncover mechanisms of common inherited mental retardation
Researchers at UT Southwestern Medical Center are uncovering how brain cells are affected in Fragile X syndrome, the most common cause of inherited mental retardation and the most common genetic cause of autism. view more (2008-01-09)
Metabolic Syndrome: It Should Concern You
The metabolic syndrome is a public health time bomb (see notes to editors). It may affect as many as 1 in 5 adults in some parts of Europe, greatly increasing the risk of developing heart disease and stroke. The metabolic syndrome is a ticking time bomb, and unless something is done about it, it will cost the European economy billions, and... view more... (2004-11-26)
Mayo Clinic researchers recommend embryo transfer delay for at-risk women
Mayo Clinic researchers have determined a method to achieve the best results for the mother's health and birth of a live baby for women who undergo in vitro fertilization who demonstrate risk of ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome. view more (2006-10-25)

NEWS The most toxic conflict Recent advances in the research into Gulf war syndrome means that soldiers returning from the latest conflict may be more fortunate than those returning after 1991. But how much are UK soldiers going to benefit from these advances? The UK spends a lot less than the US on research into the syndrome and unlike UK troops,... view more... (2003-07-03)
