Indian Scientists Discover Rare Gene Mutation Behind Repeated Neurological Disorders In Children
A team of Indian researchers has identified a rare USP18 gene mutation linked to recurrent neurological decline in children.

Is Cancer A Genetic Disease? Here's What The Latest Research Shows
Yes, cancer is fundamentally a genetic disease, but not only a hereditary one. Most cancers arise from mutations acquired during life (somatic mutations) interacting with inherited genes and environmental exposures. Understanding this interplay expla

Multiple Myeloma: Understanding The Most Common Bone Marrow Cancer
While the causes of multiple myeloma are not fully understood, some studies have shown that certain genes in DNA can cause excessive growth of plasma cells that later become cancerous cells.

World Cancer Day 2023: Here Are Factors That Might Increase Your Chances Of Developing Cancer
World Cancer Day: We observe World Cancer Day to spread awareness towards cancer. In this article, we share common risk factors you should watch out for.

Key Gene Behind Breast Cancer Identified
Researchers from the University of Queensland, together with Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the US, developed a statistical approach "to reveal many previously hard-to-find genes that contribute to cancer".

Do You Need A Surgery For Obesity?
Weight loss surgery is also known as the metabolic surgery. It is done on the stomach and the intestine and is not the same thing as liposuction.

Being Tall and Obese Can Put Men At High Risk of Prostate Cancer: Pomegranate Juice May Help Reduce Risks
A team of researchers at the University of Oxford, UK suggest that tall, obese men are more likely to fall prey to risk of developing prostate cancer.

Yoga Can Save You Not Just From Stress But Cancer Too
Mind-body interventions (MBIs) such as meditation, yoga and Tai Chi, by reversing the molecular reactions in the stress causing DNA, help to reduce the risk of depression and cancer.

The Real Cause of Cancer: Is it Pure Bad Luck? Science Answers
There have been a lot of risk factors like family history and lifestyle habits but a new study reveals that most cancers might be a case of random DNA mutations.

Gall Bladder Cancer: Scientists Identify Gene Variants Causing its Risk
A new study shed light on the discovery of two gene variations that has influenced increased risk of gall bladder cancer amongst Indians.

New Gene Therapy Technique May Prevent Cancer Spread
MIT scientists have developed a new gene therapy technique that can stop the spread of malignant cells around the body - the leading cause of mortality in women with breast cancer.
-
Cause of Cancer: Blame it on Genes or Lifestyle Choices?
Scientists have long agreed that a person's risk of getting cancer comes down to a mix of genes, lifestyle, environment thrown in with some measure of chance. But the relative importance of each factor has never been settled.

9 In 10 Cancers Caused By Lifestyle, Not Genes: Study
Environmental and external factors such as smoking, drinking, sun exposure and air pollution may account for up to nine out of 10 cancers, a new study has claimed.

Dwarfism mutation protects cancer, diabetes
A genetic mutation that causes a type of dwarfism may also protect against cancer and diabetes.

New gene as cause of breast cancer
Researchers have identified a gene that when mutated can lead to an elevated but modest risk of breast cancer. The altered gene, called CHEK2 or CHK2, can double the estimated risk of breast cancer. It is believed to be associated with 1% of all female and 9% of male breast cancers. However the known breast cancer genes BRCA1 and BRCA2 are conside...
