Study pinpoints genetic variation that raises a risk linked to bisphosphonates
( Columbia University Medical Center ) Researchers at the Columbia University College of Dental Medicine have identified a genetic variation that raises the risk of developing serious necrotic jaw bone lesions in patients who take bisphosphonates, a common class of osteoclastic inhibitors. The discovery paves the way for a genetic screening test to determine who can safely take these drugs. Continue reading

Genetic abnormality predicts benefit from treatment for a rare brain tumor
A clinical trial has shown that addition of chemotherapy to radiation therapy leads to a near doubling of median survival time in patients with a form of brain tumor (oligodendroglioma) that carries a chromosomal abnormality called the 1p19q co-deletion. Continue reading

Changes in tumor cells that lead to metastasis
Researchers have identified the genetic and phenotypic changes that cause tumor progression and metastasis. The process of metastasis — which is the main cause of cancer death — is caused by tumor cells invading distant organs with no direct anatomical relationship with the organ originally affected.

Scientists find link between gene and sensitivity to emotional environment
Researchers at the University of Essex have shown that a genetic variant could make some people more sensitive to their emotional environment – and more susceptible to anxiety disorders – than others. The study, funded by the Wellcome Trust, could have implications for predicting how well individual patients will respond to treatments for anxiety disorders. Continue reading
