Australian researchers develop new technique to uncover genes involved in congenital heart disease

One in every 100 babies is born with a congenital heart disease (CHD), and CHD is the major cause of death in newborns – however the genetic cause of these developmental disorders is not fully understood, hindering the development of accurate pre-natal genetic testing.

Study reveals molecular players involved in the onset of leukemia

A new study led by João T. Barata from Instituto de Medicina Molecular João Lobo Antunes (iMM, Portugal), and J. Andrés Yunes from Centro Infantil Boldrini (Brazil), published now in the scientific journal Nature Communications, shows that changes in a protein called IL-7R are sufficient to initiate a type of leukemia.

Flawed genetic switches could be at the origin of malformations or developmental diseases

Embryonic development follows delicate stages: for everything to go well, many genes must coordinate their activity according to a very meticulous scheme and tempo. This precision mechanism sometimes fails, leading to more or less disabling malformations.
