Multiple lines of evidence suggest regulatory variation to play an important
role in phenotypic evolution and disease development, but few regulatory
polymorphisms have been characterized genetically and molecularly. Recent
technological advances have made it possible to identify bona fide regulatory
sequences experimentally on a genome-wide scale and opened the window for the
biological interroga... hiện toàn bộ
The use of race, ethnicity and ancestry in human genetic research Tập 5 - Trang 47-63 - 2011
Sarah E. Ali-Khan, Tomasz Krakowski, Rabia Tahir, Abdallah S. Daar
Post-Human Genome Project progress has enabled a new wave of population genetic
research, and intensified controversy over the use of race/ethnicity in this
work. At the same time, the development of methods for inferring genetic
ancestry offers more empirical means of assigning group labels. Here, we provide
a systematic analysis of the use of race/ethnicity and ancestry in current
genetic resear... hiện toàn bộ
Current and emerging therapeutic strategies for Fanconi anemia Tập 6 - Trang 1-8 - 2012
Pallavi Shukla, Kanjaksha Ghosh, Babu R Vundinti
Fanconi Anemia (FA) is a rare disorder with incidence of 1in 350,000 births. It
is characterized by progressive bone marrow failure leading to death of many
patients in their childhood while development of cancer at later stages of life
in some. The treatment of FA is still a medical challenge. Current treatments of
FA include androgen administration, hematopoietic growth factors administration

The GAMY Project: young people’s attitudes to genetics in the South Wales valleys Tập 4 - Trang 49-60 - 2011
Rachel Iredale, Kim Madden, Nicola Taverner, Juping Yu, Kevin McDonald
This paper explores young people’s attitudes to genetics. It describes a
qualitative study involving a group of teenagers in a deprived South Wales
valley town over a period of 18 months. The GAMY (Genetics and Merthyr Youth)
Project involved a series of interactions with participants, including 2
interviews, 4 group days and 4 genetics tasks through which these young people
learned about, and the... hiện toàn bộ
An economic perspective on personalized medicine Tập 7 - Trang 1-6 - 2013
Sairamesh Jakka, Michael Rossbach
The concept of personalized medicine not only promises to enhance the life of
patients and increase the quality of clinical practice and targeted care
pathways, but also to lower overall healthcare costs through early-detection,
prevention, accurate risk assessments and efficiencies in care delivery. Current
inefficiencies are widely regarded as substantial enough to have a significant
impact on t... hiện toàn bộ
