Africa: Brain Tumor Group Narrows Search for Genetic Susceptibility bi2281498 An international consortium of researchers, including members from the Yale School of Public Health, has narrowed the search for the gene or genes associated inherited susceptibility to a malignant brain cancer to a region on chromosome 17

Two unique studies indentify three genetic regions associated schizophrenia bi2281498 (Medical Xpress) -- Two new independent research groups looking to find the genetic roots of schizophrenia and bipolar disorder have found evidence of variations regions of the human genome that appear to be associated either or both neurological disorders. In the first study, a Chinese group led by Wei Huang, found variations chromosome region 11 -- 11p11.2. The second group, led by ..
