In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, a research group from Vienna investigated how genetic data can be made accessible in medical practice in order to improve the safety and effectiveness of medication.
 
   Gene therapy study shows promise for chronic kidney diseaseGene therapy study shows promise for chronic kidney disease
 
A study has shown that a viral vector can deliver genetic material to damaged kidney cells, potentially providing a treatment that can slow or reverse chronic kidney disease.
 
   Tiny snippets of genetic material may help with early detection of Alzheimer's diseaseTiny snippets of genetic material may help with early detection of Alzheimer's disease
 
Researchers at Indiana University have found early evidence that tiny snippets of genetic material called microRNA may help with early detection of conditions such as Alzheimer's disease.
 
 Only one of 21 genes in BrS genetic test found to be associated with Brugada Syndrome
 
Only one of 21 genes in BrS genetic test found to be associated with Brugada SyndromeClinical laboratories often rely on medical articles and public information on gene disease associations in determining the genes to include on genetic testing panels for specific conditions or the specific results to return to patients.
 
 
 Study explores impact of surgeons on genetic testing in breast cancer patients
 
Study explores impact of surgeons on genetic testing in breast cancer patientsFor many women diagnosed with breast cancer, genetic testing can offer important information that might guide treatment choices. But studies have shown that only about half of women who could benefit receive genetic testing.
 
 
 Researchers use precision genomics to search genetic mutations causing accelerated aging
 
Researchers use precision genomics to search genetic mutations causing accelerated agingMayo Clinic researchers are using precision genomics to search for undiscovered, inheritable genetic mutations that cause accelerated aging. In a study recently published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, researchers conducted a study assessing 17 patients with short telomere syndromes -; rare conditions that result in premature DNA and cellular deterioration.
