Shared genetic influence on frailty and chronic widespread pain: a study from Twins UK
Shared genetic influence on frailty and chronic widespread pain: a study from Twins UK DOI: https://doi.org/10.1093/ageing/afx122 Abstract Introduction frailty is an increased vulnerability to adverse health outcomes, across multiple physiological systems, with both environmental and genetic drivers. The two most commonly used measures are Rockwood’s frailty index (FI) and Fried’s frailty phenotype (FP). MaterialContinue reading “Shared genetic influence on frailty and chronic widespread pain: a study from Twins UK “
Hypocalcemia and Sepsis
Hypocalcemia varies from an asymptomatic biochemical abnormality to a life-threatening disorder, depending on the duration, severity, and rapidity of development. Hypocalcemia is caused by loss of calcium from or insufficient entry of calcium into the circulation. Hypoparathyroidism is the most common cause of hypocalcemia and often develops because of surgery in the central neck requiringContinue reading “Hypocalcemia and Sepsis”
Newborn genetic screening in one blood test
American College of Medical Genetics recommendations Core panel The following conditions and disorders were recommended as a “core panel” by the 2005 report of the American College of Medical Genetics (ACMG).[1] The incidences reported below are from the full report, though the rates may vary in different populations.[2] Blood cell disorders Sickle cell anemia (HbContinue reading “Newborn genetic screening in one blood test”
More breast and prostate cancers among African American women and men
The current epidemiological data suggest that the epidemic of breast and prostate cancers may be partially attributable to increased fat consumption, increased caloric intake during growth, low fiber, vegetable, and fruit consumption, and other lifestyle factors including exercise, alcohol, and smoking. African American men are more likely to develop prostate cancer compared with Caucasian menContinue reading “More breast and prostate cancers among African American women and men”

Depression is a brain disease
In a genome-wide study, Perlis and colleagues found 17 genetic variations linked to depression at 15 genome locations. In addition to hinting at a link between depression and brain gene expression during development, there was also evidence of overlap between the genetic basis of depression and other mental illnesses. While the genome sites identified stillContinue reading “Depression is a brain disease”
