New Genetic Studies Suggest Why Autism Is More Common In Boys Than Girls | Care2 Causes

care2.com — “Three new studies in Neuron reports that hundreds of spontaneous genetic mutations have been linked to autism. Such CBS News describes the findings as a shocker, previous research has indicated that de novo or spontaneous gene mutations can be linked to the neurodevelopmental disorder. As Time magazine says, the new studies differ from previous genetic studies, which looked at families with at least two autistic children; such families may represent cases in which inherited genetic mutations mayView full resource at care2.com

Molecular imaging detects signs of genetic heart disease before symptoms arise

sciencedaily.com — “New research shows that molecular imaging is helping to determine the cause and expand treatment for a silent killer. A study focusing on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM)—a cardiovascular disorder that causes a thickening of the heart muscle—is proving that the effects of a genetic mutation may be an important key to understanding the disease. In related research, a treatment called alcohol septal ablation is being revealed as an effective treatment for severe cases of HCM.View full resource at sciencedaily.com

Loss of key nerve cells cause Parkinson's disease: Research

news-medical.net — “Scientists at the Stanford University School of Medicine have identified a molecular pathway responsible for the death of key nerve cells whose loss causes Parkinson's disease. This discovery not only may explain how a genetic mutation linked to Parkinson's causes the cells' death, but could also open the door to new therapeutic approaches for the malady.View full resource at news-medical.net
