Scientists explore factors contributing to DNA mutations

A team of Penn State University researchers is the first to conduct a genome-wide study to compare the relative importance of factors that contribute to DNA mutations, which are implicated in cancer and over 40 neurological disorders. The findings provide useful new information to researchers who study these diseases, as well as to forensics experts, conservation geneticists and scientists working in other areas of research.

1. Drivers and passengers on the road to cancer
   03-07-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute have carried out the broadest survey yet of the human genome in cancer by sequencing more than 250 million letters of DNA code, covering more than 500 genes and 200 cancers. The survey shows that the number of mutated genes that drive development of cancer is greater than previously thought. Significantly, each cell type also carries many more passenger mutations that have hitchhiked along for the ride.

2. Scientists show that mitochondrial DNA variants are linked to risk factors for type 2 diabetes
   08-10-2007 · EurekAlert!
   Researchers report for the first time that genetic variants in mitochondria -- energy-producing structures harboring DNA that are inherited only from the mother -- are directly linked to metabolic markers for type 2 diabetes. The study, which highlights the role of mitochondrial genome variation in the pathogenesis of common diseases, is published online in Genome Research.

3. Genomic variation easier to identify with UCSD/Brown software
   12-22-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Computer scientists at the University of California, San Diego, and Brown University have created a software system that more accurately detects "microinversions," mutations that consist of tiny sequences of reversed DNA. The software gives biologists a powerful new tool to study genomic variation between and within species. The system is explained in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.

4. Environmental epigenetics has potential for preventing and treating disease
   01-31-2008 · EurekAlert!
   New research on environmental influences on health and disease has begun to shed light on why genetically identical individuals demonstrate different characteristics, such as susceptibility to disease. Scientists have found that environmental exposure to nutritional, chemical and physical factors can alter the epigenome. Literally meaning "above the genome," the epigenome refers to differences in gene expression that are inherited without changing the sequence of DNA.

5. Dung happens and helps scientists
   02-15-2008 · EurekAlert!
   A scientist at Northern Arizona University is in charge of the largest animal dung collection in the world, used for clues about animal evolution and extinction, Ice Age existence and climate change. Researcher Jim Mead admits it is a bizarre resource, but he is one of many around the globe who access dung for DNA information. Mead, a dung authority, continues to grow the collection with specimens from as far away as Siberia.

6. Scientists uncover new target in cancer mutation puzzle
   02-18-2007 · EurekAlert!
   University of Rochester scientists, while investigating the two most frequent types of mutations in cancer, discovered a possible new route to treatment that would take advantage of the mutations instead of trying to repair them. The research is reported online this week in the journal Nature Structural & Molecular Biology.

9. Study uncovers mutation responsible for Noonan Syndrome
   12-04-2006 · EurekAlert!
   Scientists have discovered that mutations in a gene known as SOS1 account for many cases of Noonan syndrome (NS), a common childhood genetic disorder which occurs in one in 1,000-2,500 live births. NS is characterized by short stature, facial abnormalities and learning disabilities, as well as heart problems and predisposition to leukemia.

10. Chromium 6: A killer compound with an improbable trigger
    03-12-2007 · EurekAlert!
    Chromium 6, the cancer-causing compound that sparked the legal crusade by Erin Brockovich, can be toxic in tiny doses. Brown University scientists have uncovered the unlikely culprit: vitamin C. In new research, the Brown team shows that when vitamin C reacts with even low doses of chromium 6 inside human cells, it creates high levels of cancer-causing DNA damage and mutations.
