After a Decades-Long Search, Scientists Identify New Genetic Risk Factors for Multiple Sclerosis ? July 29, 2007
A pair of large-scale genetic studies supported by the National
Institutes of Health has revealed two genes that influence the
risk of getting multiple sclerosis (MS) ? data sought since
the discovery of the only other known MS susceptibility gene decades
ago. The findings could shed new light on what causes MS ? a
puzzling mix of genes, environment and immunity ? and on
potential treatments for at least 350,000 Americans who have the
disease. Continue reading

Gene Variants May Help Control HIV Infection
Scientists have uncovered genetic clues to explain why some people
infected with HIV-1 have lower levels of virus in their blood and
ultimately progress to AIDS more slowly. Continue reading

Independent Panel Evaluates Potential Health Risks of Bisphenol A ? July 30, 2007
An independent panel of scientists convened by
the Center for the Evaluation of Risks to Human Reproduction (CERHR)
of the National Toxicology Program (NTP) will review recent scientific
data and expects to reach conclusions regarding whether or not
exposure to a widely used chemical, Bisphenol A (BPA) is hazardous
to human development or reproduction. The NTP is located in Research
Triangle Park, North Carolina, at the National Institutes of Environmental
Health Sciences (NIEHS), one of the National Institutes of Health. Continue reading

Mouse Genome Will Help Identify Causes of Environmental Disease ? July 29, 2007
Research on the DNA of 15 mouse strains commonly used in biomedical
studies is expected to help scientists determine the genes related
to susceptibility to environmental disease. The body of data is now
publicly available in a catalog of genetic variants, which displays
the data as a mouse haplotype map, a tool that separates chromosomes
in to many small segments, helping researchers find genes and genetic
variations in mice that may affect health and disease. The haplotype
map appearing online in the July 29th issue of is
the first published full descriptive analysis of the “Mouse Genome
Resequencing and SNP Discovery Project†conducted by the National
Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS), part of the National
Institutes of Health. Continue reading
