Ozzy Osbourne’s DNA – a mumbly code

Bookmark and Share

Discoveries of Ozzy Osbourne’s complete DNA have found a sequence of mumbly codes that are almost completely congested and unreadable, Viscera has learnt. Recent studies detected that the former heavy metal singer had subliminal genes that must be unraveled backwards. An American company uniquely distinguished a gene responsible for making Jack Daniel’s unattractive and unpleasing [...]

Genetic variation explains difference in MS response to interferon beta

Bookmark and Share

By comparing the DNA of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) whose symptoms are reduced by interferon beta therapy to the DNA of those who continue to experience relapses, researchers may have identified important genetic differences between the two, according to a new study. In the study, doctors followed a group of 206 southern-European patients with [...]

DNA-based vaccine for treatment of diabetes

Bookmark and Share

A newly developed DNA-based vaccine appears safe and effective against multiple sclerosis, according to a new study. If the study’s results are confirmed in a follow-up clinical trial already under way, the study’s researchers believe that DNA-based vaccines can be developed for prevention or treatment of related diseases, such as type 1 diabetes mellitus. In [...]

Genes play role determining success of hip replacement

Bookmark and Share

The success of long-term hip replacement surgery may lie in a patient’s genes, according to new research. The researchers analysed genetic variations in 312 people, just over half of whom (162) had problems after hip replacement in the 10 years following surgery. Among those with symptoms, 91 had early signs of “aseptic loosening.” The other [...]

Genetic variation links to venous thrombosis

Bookmark and Share

Researchers have identified new genetic variations that may be associated with the risk of developing nonfatal venous thrombosis in postmenopausal women, according to a new study. In the study, researchers examined the association of common genetic variation in 24 clotting-related candidate genes with the risk of first-time venous thrombosis (VT) in postmenopausal women. Study included [...]
