Cancer Genetics: Implications of Risk Assessment for Risk Reduction – Video


Cancer Genetics: Implications of Risk Assessment for Risk Reduction
The first cancer susceptibility gene, Rb1, was cloned 25 years ago. Since then, numerous other cancer susceptibility genes have been identified, and clinical testing for many has been incorporated into clinical care. Epidemiologic assessments of cancer risks have led to the development of surveillance strategies. For the more common syndromes, there are ongoing trials assessing various modalities. For the rarer syndromes, recommendations are often extrapolations from existing data on more common conditions. Obtaining support for adequate clinic trials of surveillance and risk reduction strategies for rarer syndromes remain challenging. Understanding of susceptibility gene function should influence the design of intervention trials for risk reduction. The introduction of cancer genomics will clearly affect clinical cancer genetics going forward.From:CPRITTexasViews:0 0ratingsTime:32:22More inScience Technology

What exactly is a gene?
You #39;ve probably heard about GMOs or Genetically Modified Organisms but what exactly is a gene and what does it mean to modify the genes of a plant or animal? We hear about DNA and genes all the time in the news and in our biology classes but very few of us can actually explain what a gene is? This short film is designed to help. Here we discuss a basic definition of a gene, show what a gene looks like, what it is that genes actually code for, and the basic idea behind Genetically Modified Organisms. The video also briefly mentions one of the ways DNA strongly suggests that all living things are related and share an evolutionary history. Even though the content given here is just a simplified overview of genetics, after watching this video (along with our first video on DNA http://www.youtube.com you should be able to easily follow any news article, basic conversation, or 100 level college course lecture on genetics, even if you #39;ve never taken a biology course or studied genetics in the past.

Early Career Scientists Will Advise Genetics Society of America's Board

Newswise BETHESDA, MD -- November 26, 2012 -- The Genetics Society of America (GSA) is pleased to announce the selection of two early career scientists, graduate student Kathleen Dumas (University of Michigan, Ann Arbor) and postdoctoral researcher Krista Dobi, PhD (Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, New York), as advisory representatives to the GSA Board of Directors. These two individuals were selected from among more than 50 of GSAs graduate student and postdoctoral members who volunteered to serve in leadership positions on the GSA Board of Directors. Additional early career researchers will be selected to contribute to the work of GSA committees.

GSA has a long history of supporting its early career members through programs and policies that promote the professional development of our student and postdoc members, said GSA President Phil Hieter, PhD. The selection of Kathleen and Kristaand their peers on our committeeswill ensure that the next generation of geneticists will always be at the table when Society priorities are discussed.

GSA Executive Director Adam Fagen, PhD, added that we hope this is just the beginning of more active engagement of our early career members in the work of the Society. Students and postdoctoral scholars represent nearly half of GSAs 5,000 members.

Ms. Dumas is a graduate student in the Cell and Molecular Biology Department at the University of Michigan (UM), Ann Arbor, working on insulin signaling genetics in the nematode worm C. elegans and also completed a graduate certificate program in Science, Technology, and Public Policy. Her research success has been facilitated by what she expressed as the collaborative environment among C. elegans researchers. Ms. Dumas has a history of volunteer service to her professional community, which includes serving as co-president of the Graduate Student Council at UM; revitalizing a moribund chapter of the Association for Women in Science; and serving as a lead organizer for a forum for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows to share research, gain interdisciplinary perspectives and network with experts in the science and policy fields. Ms. Dumas has attended several International C. elegans meetings organized by GSA and received a 2012 GSA DeLill Nasser Travel Award for Professional Development in Genetics.

Katie Dumas is a sophisticated student researcher who has exceptional leadership skills and dedication to bridging the interface between research and public policy, said Jessica Schwartz, PhD, Director of the PhD Program in Cell & Molecular Biology at UM. She is an excellent communicator and will represent an informed student perspective effectively. I am certain that Katie will make excellent contributions to GSA, she added.

I am honored and excited to serve as the inaugural advisory graduate student representative to the GSA Board of Directors, said Ms. Dumas. I believe the Societys commitment to embracing the perspectives of its graduate student constituents exemplifies its mission to support the next generation of geneticists.

Dr. Dobi, a postdoctoral researcher in developmental biology at Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City, is studying the development of muscles in the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster. As a graduate student she studied gene regulation in the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Not only does she have varied and rich research experiences, according to her MSKCC postdoctoral mentor Mary Baylies, PhD, Dr. Dobi is an effective and clear communicator, an excellent mentor, and she has excellent organizational and leadership abilities. She has mentored high school, undergraduate and graduate students, served on advisory committees and organized conferences. While an undergraduate at Princeton, she also served as executive director of the Princeton Model Congress, planning a conference in Washington, D.C. for 1,000 high school students and their teachers. Dr. Dobi has attended GSA-sponsored Drosophila research conferences and received a 2012 GSA DeLill Nasser Travel Award for Professional Development in Genetics.

As a yeast and Drosophila geneticist, I am truly honored to be the first postdoctoral representative to the GSA Board of Directors, said Dr. Dobi. I look forward to sharing the perspectives and concerns of early-career scientists with the Board, and to working with them to advance the field of genetics.

Her research on paramutation, an epigenetic process, has implications not only for maize, which she used in her research, but also for animal and human genetics and genetic diseases. For most of the last decade, Dr. Chandler has built bridges between the genetic worlds of plants and animals and developed a number of lasting scientific partnerships. From 2004-2009, she was director of the BIO5 Institute, an interdisciplinary research center at the University of Arizona, while her own lab worked on maize and other plants as models of genetic effects and applied findings to the study of human biology. At the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Dr. Chandler helps foster scientific partnerships and the development of new technologies. In her new role as Vice President of GSA, she says, GSA has an obligation to communicate through public outreach and education, advances in genetics that offer significant potential improvements in health, energy, food and the environment, but also raise personal and social issues. Dr. Chandler is a member of the National Academy of Sciences and a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science; she is also a Searle Scholar and Presidential Young Investigator and received a National Institutes of Health (NIH) Directors Pioneer Award. Dr. Chandler served as president of the American Society of Plant Biologists in 2002.

Secretary: Anne M. Villeneuve, PhD, Professor of Developmental Biology and Genetics, Department of Developmental Biology, Stanford University School of Medicine, Stanford, CA.

A developmental geneticist, Dr. Villeneuve studies the mechanisms of chromosome inheritance in eukaryotes during meiosis, using the nematode worm C. elegans for much of her work. She has been a member of GSA for many years and has participated in many GSA-sponsored conferences, has served as an associate editor of GENETICS, and has published some of her most influential articles in the Journal. She has an abiding, vested interest in promoting and sustaining the crucial mission of GSA, which includes being an advocate for support of basic science research and continued government support for crucial resources such as the genetics stock centers and databases that are essential to sustain ongoing research. She received a Junior Faculty Scholar Award from the Howard Hughes Medical Institute and was named a Searle Scholar.

Directors: Lynn Cooley, PhD, C.N.H. Long Professor of Genetics; Professor of Cell Biology and Molecular, Cellular & Developmental Biology, Yale University, New Haven, CT.

Dr. Cooley studies egg development or oogenesis, using the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster as a model system. Specifically, her lab focuses on the cellular mechanisms controlling egg growth, which, according to her laboratory website, are directly relevant to female fertility in other animals, including humans. She is an associate editor of the GSA journal GENETICS, and has been a member of GSA for many years. She is also an active member of the Drosophila genetics community, including serving as an organizer for the GSA-sponsored Annual Drosophila Research Conference in 2009. As a member of the GSA Board of Directors, Dr. Cooley is looking forward to supporting GSAs incredibly important advocacy effort to maintain government support for basic research in these times of tight federal budgets.

Seattle Genetics Receives FDA Orphan Drug Designation for ADCETRIS® (Brentuximab Vedotin) in Mycosis Fungoides

BOTHELL, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--

Seattle Genetics, Inc. (SGEN) announced today that ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) has been granted orphan drug designation by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of mycosis fungoides (MF). MF is the most common type of cutaneous T-cell lymphoma (CTCL). Seattle Genetics and its ADCETRIS collaborator, Millennium: The Takeda Oncology Company, are conducting the ALCANZA trial, a phase III clinical trial of ADCETRIS for patients with CD30-positive relapsed CTCL, including MF. ADCETRIS is not approved for the treatment of CTCL.

This orphan drug designation is a part of our ADCETRIS regulatory strategy, designed to complement the Special Protocol Assessment for the ongoing ALCANZA study, said Clay B. Siegall, President and Chief Executive Officer of Seattle Genetics. The encouraging data from investigator-sponsored trials of ADCETRIS in CTCL, which will be presented at ASH, provide further support for our activities in this patient population.

FDA orphan drug designation is intended to encourage companies to develop therapies for the treatment of diseases that affect fewer than 200,000 individuals in the United States. This designation provides Seattle Genetics with the opportunity for seven years of marketing exclusivity, grant funding to defray costs of clinical trial expenses, tax credits for clinical research expenses and potential waiver of the FDA's application user fee.

The ALCANZA trial is a randomized phase III clinical trial of ADCETRIS for relapsed CD30-positive CTCL patients. The trial is assessing ADCETRIS versus investigators choice of methotrexate or bexarotene in patients with CD30-positive CTCL, including those with primary cutaneous anaplastic large cell lymphoma (pcALCL) or MF. The primary endpoint of the study is overall response rate lasting at least 4 months. Approximately 124 patients will be enrolled in the pivotal trial. The ALCANZA trial is being conducted under a Special Protocol Assessment agreement from the FDA. The study also received European Medicines Agency scientific advice. For more information about the ALCANZA trial, visit http://www.clinicaltrials.gov.

At the 54th American Society of Hematology (ASH) Annual Meeting and Exposition being held December 8-11, 2012 in Atlanta, GA, data from two investigator-sponsored trials of ADCETRIS in CTCL will be reported:

Brentuximab vedotin demonstrates significant clinical activity in relapsed or refractory mycosis fungoides with variable CD30 expression (Abstract #797)

Results of a phase II trial of brentuximab vedotin (SGN-35) for CD30-positive cutaneous T-cell lymphomas and lymphoproliferative disorders (Abstract #3688)

About ADCETRIS

ADCETRIS (brentuximab vedotin) is an ADC comprising an anti-CD30 monoclonal antibody attached by a protease-cleavable linker to a microtubule disrupting agent, monomethyl auristatin E (MMAE), utilizing Seattle Genetics proprietary technology. The ADC employs a linker system that is designed to be stable in the bloodstream but to release MMAE upon internalization into CD30-expressing tumor cells.

FATAL FAMILIAL INSOMNIA BIO PSA – Video


FATAL FAMILIAL INSOMNIA BIO PSA
The question for my presentation that I was looking for an answer to was "What treatments have been discovered to fight or cure Fatal Familial Insomnia?" In my research I found that there has been some treatments tested on mice models that have slowed down the deadly disease, but researchers have not found one that will completely cure or sufficiently fight Fatal Familial Insomnia. In my discussion I talk about when the disease was discovered and how rare it is. I also explain what a prion disease is and codon is being effected. I have a chart in my presentation that compares the different sleep spindles, normal sleep vs. FFI sleep, so that the viewer can understand how extremely different a person with FFI sleep stages are to some one with normal sleep functions. The majority of my presentation was focused on the treatments section in which I list the tested treatments, some examples of cases that I found, and whether they made a difference or not. I found out that sleeping medications are the least successful in helping patients with FFI and can actually worsen the condition. Gene therapy as we discussed in the course already is the replacement of a mutated gene with a repaired one. The findings from the gene therapy case and agomelatine case showed that they are a helpful treatment, but not the cure to FFI. Even though these treatments did not work sufficiently to cure FFI, I think they are leading the researchers in the right direction to actually find the cure.From:DMarie23ifyViews:0 0ratingsTime:05:23More inPeople Blogs

BYU research identifies gene that increases Alzheimer's risk

PROVO -- Alzheimer's kills. First, it eats the minds of its victims, leaving them with nothing more than the scraps of memories. Then, when there's nearly nothing left, it takes the sufferer's life.

But new research from Brigham Young University and several other universities shows how researchers are fighting back to kill the common disease.

The study argues that people with a rare variant of a gene are significantly more likely to develop Alzheimer's disease at some point in their lives. It relied on genetic information from more than 25,000 people and was a collaboration between BYU, University College London, Washington University and the National Institutes of Health, among other institutions.

At BYU, geneticist John Keoni Kauwe explained that the gene in question -- officially called TREM2 -- normally regulates immune system responses in the brain. When it gets damaged, it may increase a person's risk of developing Alzheimer's disease "between two and sixfold."

"It has just huge effects on risk," Kauwe added.

Kauwe explained the concept by comparing genetics to a new recipe book that might get ruined if actually used in the kitchen. Rather than mess up the book, he pointed out, a chef might make a photocopy.

"DNA is made into RNA, which is kind of like taking a nice photo copy of your recipe book," he said.

The RNA then gets made into a protein, Kauwe said, which is like the final cake the cook might have made from the original recipe. Except that in some cases, a person's genes produce an "Alzheimer's cake," or a set of genes with a variant that dramatically increases risk of developing the disease.

"Some people carry a version of this gene that doesn't work very well," he said.

According to Kauwe, knowing about the gene should make it easier and more accurate to predict if a person is likely to get Alzheimer's disease. He said the variant gene is present in about 1 percent of Alzheimer's cases, which means a lot of actual people with the disease.

Undoubtedly, we #39;ll be faced with the arrival of one of these objects again, he said, arguing that our time and resources should be focused on making large segments of the population spacefaring, so that humanity could survive a potential extinction event. He envisions hundreds of tubes bundled together as rotating cities that propel themselves out into space. Though he lauded the engineering success of the Project Stardust mission, McCanney expressed concern over possible contamination and viral danger from the retrieved particles and recommended that the materials be handled at a space lab instead. Richard C. Hoagland phoned in briefly, suggesting that NASA may have secretly swapped out the particles at the Utah landing site.
