A genetic link to deadly brain cancer has been uncovered by scientists. US researchers found single-letter variations in the genetic code that increased the relative risk of glioblastoma by 50%. People with the changes, known as a single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), have a one in 7,000 chance of developing the disease. The normal risk is about one in 10,000. Study leader Dr Robert Jenkins, ...
Sweetness perception could vary with ethnicity: Study
Published July 4, 2009, 10:57 am, Food Navigator USA
The study, from Givaudan and the National Institute of Health, showed that carriers of the gene were less sensitive to sweetness, and that carriers (with this lower sensitivity) were more common in Asian and African ethnic groups than in Europeans.
Risk Of Breast Cancer And A Single-Nucleotide Polymorphism

An analysis of the association between genetic variations of the inflammation biomarker C-reactive protein (CRP) with coronary heart disease failed to support a causal association, according to a study in the July 1 issue of JAMA.Coronary heart disease (CHD) is the leading cause of death worldwide.
ORIGINAL CONTRIBUTION: Genetic Loci Associated With C-Reactive Protein Levels and Risk of Coronary Heart Disease
Published June 30, 2009, 1:37 pm, Journal of the American Medical Association
Context Plasma levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) are independently associated with risk of coronary heart disease, but whether CRP is causally associated with coronary heart disease or merely a marker of underlying atherosclerosis is uncertain. Objective To investigate association of genetic loci with CRP levels and risk of coronary heart disease. Design, Setting, and Participants We first ...
