Genetic Risk Factors May Tailor Prostate Cancer Screening Approaches
Published November 18, 2008, 8:08 am, Medical News Today
Men with a family history of prostate cancer and African-American men are particularly susceptible to the disease, with a twofold to sevenfold increased risk. Assessing risk in these populations has been difficult. "There have been years of effort to try to identify genes and genetic mutations associated with prostate cancer as there are for breast cancer," said Veda N. Giri, M.D.

- Going Green | The Loom | Discover Magazine: So Rumpho?s group gathered up some sea slugs off the coast of Martha?s Vineyard and took a look at their DNA. They also took a look at the DNA of the one species of algae that the slugs put in their skin. As they suspected, the plasmids don?t have all the genes necessary for photosynthesis . The scientists discovered a crucial photosynthesis gene, called psbO, in the DNA of the slug. In fact, the sequence of the slug?s psbO gene is identical to the one in the species of algae that supplies them with their plastids.
