Study reveals genetic cause of intellectual impairment, autism
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
A study has shown the biological foundations of a reproductive problem brought on by a gene mutation. Fragile X Syndrome, a major hereditary cause of intellectual disability and autism, is also brought on by this gene mutation.

Obesity might increase breast cancer risk in women with BRCA mutations
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to a new multi-institutional translational study headed by Weill Cornell Medical experts, obesity may cause DNA damage in the breast tissue of women who have BRCA1 or BRCA2 mutations, potentially adding to breast cancer development in an already high-risk group.

Study suggests how combination of drugs help to reduce lung tumors
Updated : 2 years, 12 months ago IST
Personalization of cancer treatments has long been a goal--finding the right drugs that work for a patient's specific tumour based on specific genetic and molecular patterns. Many of these targeted therapies are highly effective, but they are not available for all cancers, including NSCLCs w

New link between fatal muscle wasting disease gene and cancer discovered
Updated : 3 years ago IST
One in every 5,000 boys born suffers from the crippling muscle-wasting illness DMD, which is known to be caused by mutations of the dystrophin gene. Typically, those who have the illness only survive into their 20s or 30s.

Study discovers new link between fatal muscle wasting disease gene, cancer
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Mutations in the gene that encodes for dystrophins have been linked to the devastating muscle-wasting illness DMD, which affects one out of every 5,000 boys born. Individuals with the illness usually live only into their 20s or 30s.

Study finds women over 50 with specific mutations are at higher risk of ca
Updated : 3 years ago IST
Women who have BRCA1 or BRCA2 genetic abnormalities continue to have a significant chance of developing cancer after age 50, even if they have never been diagnosed with the disease. This is true even though these mutations are linked to a younger beginning of breast and ovarian cancer

Detecting rapidly mutating bacteria and viruses with AutoPLP
Updated : 3 years ago IST
As we have learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, the microorganisms that cause various diseases can rapidly change into versions that avoid detection and treatment. However, researchers presenting in ACS Infectious Diseases have discovered a process that could aid in detecting these elusive in
