01-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
A new Mayo Clinic study details an unprecedented method to predict brain aging disorders such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and Parkinson's disease. Investigators studied common variations within axon guidance pathway genes and identified several gene variations (DNA fingerprints) that collectively predicted people who are at a high risk for ALS (2,000 times greater than the average risk).

Conflicting facts and opinions abound, but one Mayo Clinic physician says the bottom line is this: Walking is good, whether the outcome measurement is blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, joint problems or mental health.

- Discovery suggests location of genes for breast density, a strong risk factor for breast cancer
08-31-2007 · EurekAlert!
Studying the DNA of 889 people, gene hunters at the Mayo Clinic and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Centers have identified a region on chromosome 5p that is significantly associated with dense breast tissue, a known risk factor for breast cancer. The findings are published in the September 1 issue of Cancer Research, a publication of the American Association for Cancer Research.

- Cognitive 'fog' of normal aging linked to brain system disruption
12-05-2007 · EurekAlert!
Comparisons of the brains of young and old people have revealed that normal aging may cause cognitive decline due to deterioration of the connections among large-scale brain systems. The researchers linked the deterioration to a decrease in the integrity of the brain's "white matter," the tissue containing nerve cells that carry information. The researchers found that the disruption occurred even in the absence of pathology associated with Alzheimer's disease.
