Bella Santorum and Trisomy 18: Care has shifted for genetic disorder
By Deborah Kotz, Globe Staff 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.

Study pinpoints genetic factors behind increased ALL risk in Hispanic children
Hispanic children are more likely than those from other racial and ethnic backgrounds to be diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and are more likely to die of their disease. Work led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists has pinpointed genetic factors behind the grim statistics Continue reading

Massachusetts General study defines a new genetic subtype of lung cancer
( Massachusetts General Hospital ) Investigators at the Massachusetts General Hospital Cancer Center have defined the role of a recently identified gene abnormality – rearrangements in the ROS1 gene – in a deadly form of lung cancer. ROS1-rearranged tumors represent one to two percent of non-small-cell lung cancers, the leading cause of cancer death in the US. 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
