Mucopolysaccharidoses type I; a disease targeted by Telethon research – Video
16-01-2012 03:50 www.telethon.it – Mucopolysaccharidoses type I is a rare genetic disease caused by the malfunctioning of lysosomal enzymes needed to break down molecules called glycosaminoglycans. In its most serious forms the disease causes skeleton deformities and developmental retardation as well as opaque corneas, enlarged internal organs, heart problems, lack of growth and hernias Continue reading

Bella Santorum and Trisomy 18: Care has shifted for genetic disorder
Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum stepped off the campaign trail last weekend to be with his 3-year-old daughter, Bella, who was hospitalized with pneumonia. Bella was born with a devastating genetic disorder, Trisomy 18, which means she has an extra, third copy of the 18th chromosome. Continue reading

Study defines a new genetic subtype of lung cancer
“ROS1 encodes a protein that is important for cell growth and survival, and deregulation of ROS1 through chromosomal rearrangement drives the growth of tumors,” says Alice Shaw, MD, PhD, of the MGH Cancer Center – co-lead author of the paper which has been published online in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. “This finding is important because we have drugs that inhibit ROS1 and could lead to the sort of dramatic clinical response we describe in this paper.” The current findings add ROS1 to the list of genes known to drive NSCLC growth when altered – a list that includes KRAS, mutations of which account for about 25 percent of cases; EGFR, accounting for 10 to 15 percent; and ALK, rearranged in about 4 percent. Altogether, known cancer-causing genetic changes have been found in a little more than half of NSCLC tumors. Continue reading

Massachusetts General study defines a new genetic subtype of lung cancer
Public release date: 31-Jan-2012 [ | E-mail | Share ] Contact: Katie Marquedant kmarquedant@partners.org 617-726-0337 Massachusetts General Hospital A report from investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) Cancer Center has defined the role of a recently identified gene abnormality in a deadly form of lung cancer. Tumors driven by rearrangements in the ROS1 gene represent 1 to 2 percent of non-small-cell lung cancers (NSCLC), the leading cause of cancer death in the U.S. The researchers show that ROS1-driven tumors can be treated with crizotinib, which also inhibits the growth of tumors driven by an oncogene called ALK, and describe the remarkable response of one patient to crizotinib treatment Continue reading

Genetic Mutation That Triggers Pancreatic Cancer Identified
Scientists at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have identified a self-perpetuating “loop” of molecular activity that fuels pancreatic cancer by linking two signature characteristics of the disease – Kras, a gene that serves as a molecular on-off switch, but gets stuck on the “on” position when mutated, and NF-κB, a protein complex that controls activation of genes. In addition … Continue reading
