<title>Fish oil shows little effect on Tourette's tics</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7317/display/fish-oil-shows-little-effect-on-tourettes-tics.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Some parents swear by fish oil as a treatment for the "tics" caused by Tourette's disorder, but so far the research evidence is slim. In a small study of children with Tourette's, researchers found that omega-3 fatty acids were no better than a placebo at reducing the severity of tics -- the sudden, involuntary movements or vocalizations that mark Tourette's. On the other hand, children who took omega-3 did show an improvement in the degree to which their tics bothered them, researchers report in the journal Pediatrics.]]></description>

<title>Uncovered Genes at Fault for Cystic Fibrosis-Related Intestinal Obstruction</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7242/display/uncovered-genes-at-fault-for-cystic-fibrosis-related-intestinal-obstruction.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Researchers have identified a gene that modifies the risk of newborns with cystic fibrosis (CF) developing neonatal intestinal obstruction, a potentially lethal complication of CF. Their findings, which appeared in PlosGenetics and in Nature Genetics, may lead to a better understanding of how the intestines work and pave the way for identifying genes involved in secondary complications of other disorders.

<title>A New Treatment for Cystic Fibrosis</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7220/display/a-new-treatment-for-cystic-fibrosis.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[The only possible treatment for cystic fibrosis at present aims at the mitigation of symptoms, since the cause is genetic. Only now researchers have started to experiment some first attempts of genetic therapy: through a randomized, double-blinded study, sponsored by pharmaceutical industry, 39 adults with cystic fibrosis have been orally treated with VX-70 (which increases the activity of the CFTR protein, defective in cystic fibrosis for genetic reasons).]]></description>

<title>Low protein level triggers TAR syndrome</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/7174/display/low-protein-level-triggers-tar-syndrome.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[A European team of scientists has discovered that thrombocytopenia with absent radii (TAR), a rare inherited blood and skeletal disorder, is triggered by low levels of the protein Y14. Presented in the journal Nature Genetics, the findings could help lead to the development of a medical exam that permits prenatal diagnosis and genetic counselling in families affected by TAR.]]></description>

<title>New inherited neurometabolic disorder</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6756/display/new-inherited-neurometabolic-disorder.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Researchers have discovered a new inherited disorder that causes severe mental retardation and liver dysfunction. The disease, adenosine kinase deficiency, is caused by mutations in the ADK gene, which codes for the enzyme adenosine kinase.  The findings are presented in the American Journal of Human Genetics.]]></description>

<title>The unfolding 'SAGA' of transcriptional co-activators</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6599/display/the-unfolding-saga-of-transcriptional-co-activators.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[In their latest study, published in the July 15, 2011, issue of Genes & Development, researchers at the Stowers Institute for Medical Research discovered that the highly conserved coactivator SAGA, best characterized for lending a helping hand during the early steps of transcriptional initiation in yeast, plays an important role in tissue-specific gene expression in fruit flies.]]></description>

<title>Systems Biology Center Uses Web-based Games to Teach High School Students Complex Genetics</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6588/display/systems-biology-center-uses-web-based-games-to-teach-high-school-students-complex-genetics.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[Science educators are now taking advantage of this “gaming effect” to teach biology in high schools. With the aid of Web-based programs that use dragons, high school students are learning about complex concepts and gaining an appreciation for how science is really done—all while having fun. ]]></description>

<title>Induced Pluripotent Stem Cell Lines Now Available from the NIGMS Cell Repository</title>
<link>http://www.medsurfnews.com/contents/it/6589/display/induced-pluripotent-stem-cell-lines-now-available-from-the-nigms-cell-repository.aspx</link>
<description><![CDATA[The National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Human Genetic Cell Repository has launched a new collection of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cell lines that carry disease gene mutations. The five lines in the initial set were derived from individuals with Huntington’s disease, juvenile onset diabetes, severe combined immunodeficiency, muscular dystrophy and spinal muscular atrophy. ]]></description>
