Sequencing of patients' genomes offers new hope: studies
AFP Global Edition
US researchers have decoded the entire genome of patients to identify the root cause of their diseases paving the way towards individual genomic treatments, according to newly published studies. James Lupski of Baylor College of Medicine in Houston, Texas, sequenced his own genome to locate the gene responsible for the ...
"Personal" study shows gene maps can spot disease
Reuters US Online Report Science News
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two studies published on Wednesday show it is possible to sequence the entire gene maps of families with inherited diseases and pinpoint the offending bit of DNA. The studies, which would not have been possible a year or two ago, are the first real delivery of the promised ...
Personal look at genes locates disease causes
AP News
Individual, family gene studies help locate causes of inherited diseasesChildren inherit about 30 mutated genes from each parent, fewer than had been thought, but enough in at least one case to pass on inherited illnesses, according to a first detailed look at the blueprint for human life in a family ...
Parents give kids fewer bad genes than thought: study
AFP Global Edition
American scientists have for the first time unlocked the genetic code of an entire family, and made a startling discovery -- that parents pass on fewer mutations than previously thought. Scientists had long believed that each parent passed on some 75 genetic mutations to their children. But the result of research ...
