(MEMPHIS, Tenn. December 10, 2011) Symptoms improved significantly in adults with the bleeding disorder hemophilia B following a single treatment with gene therapy developed by researchers at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital in Memphis and demonstrated to be safe in a clinical trial conducted at the University College London ...

Scientists from the EPFL and the University of Geneva have discovered a genetic mechanism that defines the shape of our members in which, surprisingly, genes play only a secondary role. The research, published in Cell online, shows the mechanism is found in a DNA sequence that was thought, incorrectly, to ...

Current thinking about Parkinson's disease is that it's a disorder of mitochondria, the energy-producing organelles inside cells, causing neurons in the brain's substantia nigra to die or become impaired. A study from Children's Hospital Boston now shows that genetic mutations causing a hereditary form of Parkinson's disease cause mitochondria to ...

Scientists including those from Queen's University have discovered that taking regular aspirin halves the risk of developing hereditary cancers.

Patients with a family history of cancer who take daily aspirin for a number of years have a 63% lower chance of developing the disease, scientists from the Universities of Newcastle and Leeds, England, reported in the medical journal The Lancet. The researchers emphasized that it takes some years of ...

Researchers from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland (RCSI), Beaumont Hospital, and Trinity College Dublin have conducted a study which has found that Ireland has one of the highest incidences in the world of a genetic condition that causes severe hereditary emphysema. The study raises the possibility that hundreds ...

Precise diagnosis of disease and developmental syndromes often depends on understanding the genetics underlying them. Most cases of early onset hearing loss are genetic in origin but there are many different forms. Heretofore, it has been difficult to identify the gene responsible for the hearing loss of each affected child, ...
