Study reveals genetic tests shows how genes linked to heart disease
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
People may learn they have a gene mutation linked to some types of cardiovascular disease (CVD) as the usage of genetic testing rises. In order to better inform people and medical professionals on what to do when a variant is found.

Researchers find misfolded alpha-synuclein protein help in early detection
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Using technology created by a researcher at UTHealth Houston, a new study shows that the presence of a misfolded alpha-synuclein protein can be used to identify persons with Parkinson's disease. The discovery of this biomarker may lead to the creation of more accurate diagnostic equipment an

Researchers reveal therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cell
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Gene mutations are the cause of cancer. Tumor suppressors and oncogenes are the two main groups of these altered genes in cancer. Mutations in oncogenes can drive cell proliferation, pushing the gas pedal all the way to the floor, whereas mutations in tumour suppressor genes can cause tumour

Research sheds light on therapeutic strategy to kill cancer cells
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
Cancer is a disease driven by gene mutations. These mutated genes in cancer fall into two major categories: tumour suppressors and oncogenes. Mutations in tumour suppressor genes can allow tumours to grow unchecked - a case of no brakes - while mutations in oncogenes can activate cell prolif

Researchers discover a dependency of glioblastoma on biotin distribution
Updated : 3 years, 2 months ago IST
Glioblastoma is the most lethal and malignant adult brain cancer that may arise from the neuroglial stem or progenitor cells. Certain gene mutations or those with a known history of other cancers and radiation therapy may predispose patients to develop brain cancer. Tumour relapse is invaria

Rare mutations may have big impact on schizophrenia pathology
Updated : 3 years, 4 months ago IST
Researchers have long searched for genetic influences in schizophrenia, a neurodevelopmental disorder that disrupts brain activity producing hallucinations, delusions, and other cognitive disturbances. However, the disease's genetic mutations have been identified in only a small fraction few
