Gene Sets Identified May Predict Response to RA Therapies
A blood biomarkers search has identified 3 gene expression signatures that helped predict which patients were more likely to respond to tumor necrosis factor inhibitors (TNFi) or B-cell depletion therapies in patients with moderate to severe rheumatoid arthritis (RA). The findings were presented at the 2016 ACR/ARHP Annual Meeting of the American College of Rheumatology and its Association of Rheumatology Health Professionals. More...22 Nov 2016
Disease Genes Effect May Be Overcome by Other Gene Mutations
A first-of-its-kind study, performed in the model yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae, shows how “bad genes aren’t always bad news” in that the disease-causing effects of mutations in certain genes can be overcome by suppression-mutations in certain other genes. The study opens a new way for better understanding how some people naturally stay healthy despite having disease-causing mutations, and potentially a new path to better diagnostics and therapies of genetic disorders.
