Study predicts the effects of genetic mutations on RNA formation
Updated : 2 years, 9 months ago IST
A research team from Munich has created an algorithm that predicts the effects of genetic mutations on RNA formation six times more precisely than previous models. As a result, the genetic causes of rare hereditary diseases and cancer can now be pinpointed with greater accuracy.

Gene mutations responsible for rare illness causing heart attack in youngs
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
The findings, published in late April in Circulation, suggest that treatments could be developed to manage the condition rather than requiring a heart transplant, which is the standard treatment for this condition in children.

Research discovers new cause of heart failure condition in children
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
Researchers at the University of Maryland School of Medicine (UMSOM) have uncovered novel gene mutations responsible for a rare illness that causes heart failure in youngsters. They were subsequently able to discover how the mutation works and apply medication to counteract its effects in ca

Study discovers how genetic mutations contribute to adult epilepsy
Updated : 2 years, 10 months ago IST
bout 1 in 26 people have epilepsy, and the most common type, temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE), is frequently ineffectively treated with anti-seizure drugs. Neurosurgery may be necessary for patients with this type of epilepsy in order to stop their seizures. Uncertainty surrounds the causes and

Study finds mitochondrial mutations in single cells
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
New knowledge about mitochondrial DNA (mtDNA) mutations has been obtained through the use of a high-throughput single-cell, single-mitochondrial genome sequencing technique known as iMiGseq. This technology also provides a platform for evaluating mtDNA editing techniques and genetically diag

Study reveals how novel protein helps to suppress tumour growth
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Understanding how cancer develops is necessary for designing efficient, individualised cancer medicines. Scientists have known for many years that certain types of gene mutations are the cause of cancer.

Study finds biomarker can predict how kidney cancer patients respond to im
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
According to new research, a biomarker signature can predict how well kidney cancer patients will respond to immunotherapy before treatment even starts. This biomarker signature is made up of the number of immune cells in and around kidney tumours, the volume of dead cancer tissue, and mutat

Study shows artificial Intelligence can predict genetics of cancerous brai
Updated : 2 years, 11 months ago IST
Researchers have made an AI-based diagnostic screening system called DeepGlioma that uses rapid imaging to analyze tumor specimens taken during an operation and detect genetic mutations more rapidly.
