Q & A session : BRCA1 and BRCA2 Screening & Prognosis

BRCA1 and BRCA2 Screening & Prognosis The first question from the audience concerned BRCA1 and BRCA2, as there are two schools of thought and people in the medical fraternity consider one as a screening and the other as a review, where when treatment is started, BRCA1 and BRCA2 are considered to see the prognosis. Is …

Omega-3 fatty acid is inversely related to inflammatory gene expression in Multiple Sclerosis

The findings of a recent study suggest that blood omega-3 fatty acid (FA) is inversely related to inflammatory gene expression (IGE) inn multiple sclerosis (MS). The results of the study were published in the journal, Nutrients. It included 1353 participants from 13 cohort between the time frame of 3 to 144 weeks. The results obtained …

Certain genes interact with total folate consumption and impact colorectal cancer risk

A recent study found evidence that suggested gene expression may interact with folate consumption to alter colorectal cancer (CRC) risk. The results of this study were published in Scientific Reports. The study aimed to investigate interactions between folate consumption and predicted gene expression on colorectal cancer risk across the genome. For genes including glutathione S-Transferase …

Aerobic training and vitamin D supplementation inhibit gene expression of inflammation-related factors

A recent study found that a combination of aerobic training (AT) and vitamin D (Vit D) may enhance the lipid profile and liver enzymes. In comparison to AT or Vit D alone, this can tip the balance in favour of inflammation inhibition by downregulating gene expression of inflammation-related factors. The results of this study were …

Genes Linked to Abnormal Bone Density and Fracture

A person’s DNA holds the key to their genetic predisposition to diseases. Many diseases have a underlying genetic cause, if it is identified, it is far simpler to have an approach towards correct, targeted treatments. Recent research has made it easier to identify genes that cause abnormal bone density and fractures. Bone mass density (BMD) …
