Computer-designed molecules point to new therapy for cystic fibrosis
ScienceDaily (Apr. 19, 2012) By developing software that uses 3-D models of proteins involved in cystic fibrosis, a team of scientists at Duke University has identified several new molecules that may ease the symptoms of the disease. Computer algorithms created by the team predict how well a given molecular structure will block a basic protein-protein interaction known to occur in cystic fibrosis. Continue reading

Genetic test could pave the way for breast cancer 'magic bullets'
Cancer is the quintessential genetic disease, so it comes as little surprise to find it has benefited most from the unravelling of the human genome the blueprint of life written in the digital DNA code of the cell’s chromosomes. It is now more than 10 years since the full DNA sequence of the human genome was first published and the benefits of that understanding are now apparent in a remarkable breakthrough in breast cancer genetics. For the first time, scientists have been able to tease apart differences in the DNA of breast cancer patients that go far beyond the results of classical medical science, based on the tradition of analysing tumour tissue under a microscope Continue reading

The Lancet acknowledges world's first bedside genetic test
Published on March 30, 2012 at 5:26 AM Developed in Canada and conducted by researchers from the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, in partnership with Spartan Bioscience, the world’s first bedside genetic test has received acknowledgment by The Lancet, the world’s leading general medical journal. The article Point-of-care genetic testing for personalisation of antiplatelet treatment (RAPID GENE): a prospective, randomised, proof-of-concept trial, reports on the use of a simple cheek swab test, the Spartan RX CYP2C19, performed by nurses at the patient’s bedside. This revolutionary technology allows doctors to rapidly identify patients with a genetic variant known as CYP2C19*2. Continue reading
