Genome Testing Could Help Individualize Treatments
Speakers at Mayo Clinic’s Individualizing Medicine conference offered impressive examples of real-world genome-based treatment, and called for more research. Michael Snyder, director for the Center for Genomics and Personalized Medicine at Stanford University, said Stanford researchers chose to study Snyder’s own genome rather than recruit a test subject. Speaking during this week’s conference at Mayo […]

Genetically Engineered Cows Make ‘Hypoallergenic’ Milk
Milk was a “bad choice” for Justin Bieber, who blamed it for making him vomit onstage Saturday night in Arizona, but it’s an even worse choice for the 1.3 million children who have milk allergies. New Zealand researchers say they’ve found a way to genetically engineer cows to produce hypoallergenic milk, but others say that’s […]

Mayo, TGen Close in on Personalized Gene Therapy
The right drug for the right person at the right time. The pioneers of medicine’s Genetic Age have long predicted that personalized drug treatments are inevitable as technology improves and costs plummet. Although genetic medicine so far has produced more hype than substance, there are signs that medical treatments based on an individual’s genes are […]

Mayo Clinic Research Team Completes Genome-Wide Analysis of Peripheral T-cell Lymphoma
A genome-wide sequence of peripheral T-cell lymphomas has been completed by researchers at Mayo Clinic. Scientists elsewhere have done the same with other cancers, but Mayo focused on this relatively uncommon one because the clinic has expertise in it and an archive of tumor samples for research studies. “More and more, as these sequencing studies […]

Some Brain Tumors Are Linked to a Gene Defect
A genetic mutation appears to be behind some cases of a common and aggressive brain cancer, researchers at Columbia University said, and targeting the abnormality with a drug prolonged the lives of mice with the condition…Robert Jenkins, professor of laboratory genetics at the Mayo Clinic, said it was particularly interesting that the researchers found the […]
