New cancer immunotherapy uses engineered T cells to target a common genetic alteration Researchers developed a prototype for a new cancer immunotherapy that uses engineered T cells to target a genetic alteration common among all cancers. The approach, which stimulates an immune response against cells that are missing one gene copy, called loss of heterozygosity (LOH), was developed by researchers at the Ludwig Center, Lustgarten Laboratory and the Bloomberg~Kimmel Institute for Cancer Immunotherapy at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center. Genes have two alleles, or copies, with one copy inherited from each parent. Cancer-related genetic alterations commonly involve the loss of one of these gene copies. ....
Genetic variation associated with COVID-19 outcome The severity of outcome from severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection is widely varied, with most individuals remaining asymptomatic while others experience severe life-threatening pneumonia and multi-organ failure. Host genetics play a role in disease progression and prognosis. A paper recently uploaded to the preprint server et al. (1 st March 2021) identifies several alleles associated with the gene natriuretic peptide receptor C (NPR3) that may impact disease severity. How was the study performed? The group worked with 4,488 high-risk COVID-19 outpatients being over 40 years of age and having at least one other comorbidity such as diabetes or obesity. The group was split into two equal sizes, one of which received a placebo, while the other received 0.5 mg colchicine, an anti-inflammatory, daily for a month. The patients were evaluated for disease symptoms 15 and 30 days into ....
Early diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease has been shown to reduce cost and improve patient outcomes, but current diagnostic approaches can be invasive and costly. ....
Neanderthal gene can confer protection against severe COVID-19, finds study Some of the genes in the human genome appear to confer a protective effect against severe coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). A new paper published online in the journal PNAS describes genes involved in innate immunity that have undergone variations between different human subgroups. Infectious disease and genetic changes Infectious diseases vary in prevalence with environmental conditions, which vary dramatically in different parts of the world. These act as selective factors on gene variants, such as the toll-like receptor gene variants that reduce the susceptibility to some bacterial infections and allergies. ....
A new study of Type 2 diabetes in Japanese populations has uncovered a previously uncharacterized genetic variant that puts male carriers at greater risk for the disease, as well as the mechanism by which it does so. ....
