Drugs are not equally effective on all patients. A treatment that is dramatically effective on some patients can be ineffective on others. Drugs can also have serious side effects; in the worst case, ...

Gene expression patterns identify patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) who are at increased risk for venous thromboembolism (VTE) No significant financial relationships to disclose. This ...

Data from an observational study suggest that a disabling, sometimes chronic disorder known as complex regional pain syndrome type 1 (CRPS-1) may have a genetic background. Researchers headed by a ...

Normal populational variations of DNA sequence, also called genetic polymorphisms, underlie the intraspecies phenotypic variability. In human, single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) affect ...

Implicated genes are involved in brain development, memory, cognition, and immunity, as reported in Nature. Researchers from the multinational SGENE consortium identified seven SNPs that appear to ...

A study from the July 2011 issue of Anesthesiology analyzed whether patients who experience post-operative nausea and vomiting have a genetic predisposition to the side effect, according to a Newswise ...

Researchers are examining how drugs can be matched to a patient’s genetic information through the study of single nucleotide polymorphisms. The RIKEN Center for Genomic Medicine is examining how drugs ...
