DNA repair protein gene gone rogue may unlock new cancer treatments
When it comes to cancer, tumor suppressor genes are usually thought of as the «good guys.» These genes make proteins that protect and repair DNA in cells. If they stop functioning or there’s not enough, cancer risk goes up. But there can be too much of…

How a father’s obesity affects his children’s metabolism
The scientific literature already contains robust evidence that obesity, whether maternal or paternal, can lead to metabolic changes in offspring that increase their risk of developing diseases. A new study published in the journal Nature Communication…

Key gene boundary discovery may improve treatment of rare inflammatory disorder
Not all broken genes fail in the same way: some simply stop working, while others interfere with what still works. Researchers from Hiroshima University have identified a critical boundary within the immune-regulating gene called RELA that helps predic…

Genetic clues may reveal which rare solitary fibrous tumors are more aggressive, likely to spread
Specific genetic fusion patterns in solitary fibrous tumors may help identify which patients face a higher risk of metastasis, recurrence and more aggressive disease behavior, according to new research that could improve how physicians assess and event…

Sudden cardiac arrest: Genetic cause more common in younger people than in older people
Younger people who experience sudden cardiac arrest are more likely to have a genetic cause than older people who experience it, according to the Smidt Heart Institute at Cedars-Sinai. The study, published in JACC: Clinical Electrophysiology, highlight…

Linking lysosomal dysfunction to severe neurological disorders
A new study has identified mutations in a single gene as the cause of a previously unrecognized spectrum of severe neurological disorders ranging from fatal prenatal conditions to progressive neurodegenerative disease in childhood, according to a study…
