Mutations of the bassoon gene causing new brain disorder

Newly discovered gene mutations may help explain the cause of a disease that drastically impairs walking and thinking. Mutations have been found in the bassoon (BSN) gene, which is involved with the central nervous system, in patients with symptoms similar to, but different from, a rare brain disorder called progressive supranuclear palsy (PSP). PSP, a […]

Proteins reveal new mechanisms in prostate cancer

A study by the University of Tampere in Finland used protein profiling to find new prostate cancer mechanisms that are not shown by aberrations at the genomic level. Several new potential biomarkers of prostate cancer were also found. Genes that affect prostate cancer evolution have been studied for a long time. However, changes in the […]

Parkinson’s gene initiates disease outside of the brain

Until very recently, Parkinson’s had been thought a disease that starts in the brain, destroying motion centres and resulting in the tremors and loss of movement. New research shows the most common Parkinson’s gene mutation may change how immune cells react to generic infections like colds, which in turn trigger the inflammatory reaction in the […]

Pap test fluids used in gene-based screening test for two Gyn cancers

Cervical fluid samples gathered during routine Papanicolaou (Pap) tests are the basis of a new screening test for endometrial and ovarian cancers developed by researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. PapSEEK detects mutations in DNA that have been identified for specific cancers sooner. Earlier detection of cancer could lead to earlier treatment and […]

Gene-based test for urine detects, monitors bladder cancer

Researchers at The Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center have developed a test for urine, gathered during a routine procedure, to detect DNA mutations identified with urothelial cancers. UroSEEK uses urine samples to seek out mutations in 11 genes or the presence of abnormal numbers of chromosomes that would indicate the presence of DNA associated with […]

Genomics tool for more accurate identification of rare mutations in cancer cells

A new computational method developed by researchers at the New York Genome Center (NYGC) allows scientists to identify rare gene mutations in cancer cells with greater accuracy and sensitivity than currently available approaches. The technique is called Lancet and represents a major advance in the identification of tumour cell mutations, a process known as somatic […]

A new piece of the typhoid ‘puzzle’

In October 2016, researchers at the Aga Khan University’s microbiology laboratory spotted a number of unusual organisms in blood samples from Hyderabad. Blood culture tests from the city contained a novel strain of typhoid that had developed resistance to an unprecedented range of antibiotics. Over the next few months, several similar cases were detected from […]
