NIH-Funded Study Unveils Potential Genetic Links to Lung Disease Risk | Highlight HEALTH

highlighthealth.com — “A new study involving data from more than 20,000 individuals has uncovered several DNA sequences linked to impaired pulmonary function. The research, an analysis that combined the results of several smaller studies, provides insight into the mechanisms involved in reaching full lung capacity. The findings may ultimately lead to better understanding of lung function and diseases like asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), the fourth leading cause of death in the United States.View full resource at highlighthealth.com

NIH, USU study maps hotspots of genetic rearrangement, April 5, 2011 News Release - National Institutes of Health (NIH)

nih.gov — “Researchers have zoomed in on mouse chromosomes to map hotspots of genetic recombination -- sites where DNA breaks and reforms to shuffle genes. The findings of the scientists at the National Institutes of Health and Uniformed Services University of Health Sciences (USU) have the potential to improve the detection of genes linked to disease and to help understand the root causes of genetic abnormalities. The research, published online April 3 in Nature, moves scientists one step closer to undersView full resource at nih.gov

Salk Institute uncovers presenilin's productive side

buzzup.com — “Mutant presenilin is infamous for its role in the most aggressive form of Alzheimer's disease-early-onset familial Alzheimer's-which can strike people as early as their 30s. In their latest study, researchers at the Salk Institute uncovered presenilin's productive side: It helps embryonic motor neurons navigate the maze of chemical cues that pull, push and hem them in on their way to their proper targets.View full resource at buzzup.com

A, tau and Fyn protein interactions may lead to brain dysfunction and AD

news-medical.net — “Though the cause of Alzheimer's disease still is unknown, recent studies have implicated three proteins strongly in its onset. New research from the University of Alabama at Birmingham, the Gladstone Institutes and the Baylor College of Medicine indicates that interactions between those three proteins might lead to brain dysfunction and AD in a mouse model of the disease.View full resource at news-medical.net

Study reveals new genetic risk factor for both autism and schizophrenia

eurekalert.org — “Researchers have uncovered a prominent genetic risk factor for autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. The study, published by Cell Press on Nov. 4 in the American Journal of Human Genetics, reports a small genomic deletion in patients with these neurological conditions. The region includes a gene in which mutations cause a kidney disease (renal cysts and diabetes syndrome, RCAD).View full resource at eurekalert.org

Genetic Marker Of Aggressive Alzheimer's Disease Identified By Researchers - QualityPoint Technologies

qualitypointtech.net — “An international team of Alzheimer's disease experts, led by Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, has uncovered a gene variation that appears to predict the rate at which Alzheimer's disease will progress. The investigators report their findings online in the journal Public Library of Science (PLoS) Genetics. Whereas previous studies have focused on factors that influence the risk for Alzheimer's, the new research points to a way to determine how rapidly Alzheimer's patients maView full resource at qualitypointtech.net

Hypertensive rat genome sequence expected to uncover genetic basis of human hypertension

sciencedaily.com — “Chronic high blood pressure, also known as hypertension, is a serious health risk factor that afflicts more than 25 percent of all adults worldwide, but the molecular basis of the disease remains poorly understood. In a new study, scientists have sequenced the genome of the spontaneously hypertensive rat, building a rich catalog of genetic variants that will help researchers to understand causes of the disease in humans.View full resource at sciencedaily.com
