Colorectal Cancer Predicted by Merging Risk Factors

A team of Spanish cancer researchers has devised a method for predicting risk of developing colorectal cancer (CRC) that combines life style choices, family background, and genetic data. More...

Study Identifies Genes Linked to Autoimmune Kidney Disease

A pair of genes linked to serum levels of the defective immunoglobulin galactose-deficient IgA1 has been identified during a genome-wide association study (GWAS) and may serve as biomarkers to help diagnose the autoimmune kidney disease IgA nephropathy (IgAN), or Berger's disease. More...

Two Genes Linked to Risk of Gallbladder Cancer

By performing a genome-wide scan (GWAS) of gallbladder cancer patients and hospital visitor controls, a team of researchers identified two genes that were associated with a small but definite risk of developing the disease. More...

Link Between Aging and Fibrotic Pulmonary Disease Discovered

A study analyzing transcriptome biomarker data has shown evidence linking cellular senescence with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), suggesting that this fatal lung disease maybe involve a form of accelerated aging. More...

New Research Sorting Out Risk Genes for Brain Disorders

Using targeted gene sequencing in a large cohort population, researchers have discovered genes associated with higher risk of neurodevelopmental-disorders (NDDs), with some of those genes showing statistical biases for autism. The study provides new information about similarities and differences underlying various NDDs. More...

Study Identifies Gene Variants Linked to AD in African Americans

In what may have been the first comprehensive screening of rare coding variants in an African American population, researchers identified several rare gene variants linked to the development of early onset Alzheimer's disease (AD). More...

Novel Biomarkers Found for Bowel Cancer Treatment

Bowel cancer is the third most common form of cancer in the world and 95% of cases are colorectal carcinomas and at an advanced stage they are one of the most common causes of death, as only some patients respond to drug treatment. More...
