Patients who undergo broad DNA testing to explain a specific medical condition also should be told about chance findings that indicate risk for other serious diseases, a group of genetic specialists said.

Laboratories that conduct complete gene sequencing on patients should analyze and report on about 60 genes with known links to potentially grave conditions, such as hereditary cancers and heart conditions that can be prevented and treated, according to a report released today by a working group of the American College of Medical Genetics.

As the price of DNA analysis drops, doctors more often turn to analyzing the genome, an individuals complete genetic code, for mutations that might explain a patients illness. These wider searches increase the likelihood of discovering unexpected disease-linked genes, often called incidental findings, said Robert Green, a Harvard Medical School geneticist and chairman of the panel.

The disruptive technology of sequencing is calling for us to respond, said Green, who is also a researcher at Brigham and Womens Hospital in Boston. These are all gene variants that could make an enormous difference in a patients future medical health.

The guidelines apply to children and adults, the report said.

Faster, cheaper DNA analyzers made by Life Technologies Corp. (LIFE) and Illumina Inc. (ILMN) have dropped the price of sequencing a single human genome to about $4,000 from more than $2 billion in 2001. Government projects in the U.S., U.K., and the Faroe Islands in the North Atlantic are planning to sequence the genomes of millions of people for research and treatment.

Mutations listed in the guidelines include those that raise the risk of breast and colon cancer, heart conditions such as hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and blood disorders such as familial hypercholesterolemia. These mutations should be reported to doctors, who can decide when and how to discuss the information with patients and families, the panel said.

In most of these cases, if these mutations appear in a patients report, its going to be pretty difficult for the doctor to avoid discussing it, Green said.

Many of the diseases on the list, such as inherited cancers, are likely to arise later in life. The guidelines recommend that when mutations tied to those diseases occur in children, they should be put in the patients file and shared with parents, just like any other sign of disease risk.

An incidental finding relevant to adult disease that is discovered and reported through clinical sequencing of a child may be the only way in which that variant will come to light for the parent, the panels report said.

TUESDAY, March 19 (HealthDay News) -- Children who inherit certain variations in four particular genes have an increased risk of developing childhood leukemia, a new study says.

The researchers also found that Hispanic children are more likely than white or black children to inherit high-risk versions of two of the genes that can lead to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL).

Rates of ALL are higher in Hispanic children than in white or black children, and these findings point to at least one reason for that difference, according to the St. Jude Children's Research Hospital-led study.

Children inherit two copies of each gene, one from each parent. That means that children could inherit up to eight high-risk versions of the four genes linked to an increased risk of ALL, the researchers said.

Children with more than five copies of the risk genes were nine times more likely to develop ALL than those with no more than one copy, according to the study published online March 19 in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute.

The study included nearly 2,500 children with ALL and nearly 11,000 without the disease.

"ALL is a complex disease that likely involves many genes. The discoveries we are reporting in this paper are an important step forward in terms of understanding why children develop ALL in the first place, particularly for those with African or Hispanic ethnicity. However, this is probably still just a small part of the complete picture," study senior author Jun Yang, an assistant member of the St. Jude Department of Pharmaceutical Sciences in Memphis, Tenn., said in a hospital news release.

This year, about 3,000 children in the United States will be diagnosed with ALL, which is the most common childhood cancer. It is also among the most curable.

According to Vice, the scientists and researchers at BGI Shenzhen have taken on the genetic engineering project and are getting close to figuring out the common allele among the "genius" DNA.

Geoffrey Miller, an evolutionary psychologist, is among the 2,000 luminaries who donated DNA to the science of smart.

In an interview with Vice, Miller explains in more detail what exactly the research may be able to achieve, and why China is far more advanced in genetic research.

Miller says that even if IQ is boosted in one generation by a seemingly small increment, the potential of even more intelligent offspring increases as well and can improve society in all sectors. Even if it only boosts the average kid by five IQ points, thats a huge difference in terms of economic productivity, the competitiveness of the country, how many patents they get, how their businesses are run and how innovative their economy is, he said.

Chinas past with eugenics has paved a way for current Chinese geneticists and researchers to be leaders in the field, despite what many perceive as controversial science. Under the leadership of Deng Xiaoping in the late 1970s and '80s, managing Chinas booming population became a priority. By the time technology allowed for it, prenatal testing and screening for birth defects and gender were common among Chinese parents who only had one chance to have a child because of the one child policy implemented by Deng. And though gender-selecting abortion is illegal in China, this did not stop many parents from killing or abandoning baby girls.

This project, by BGI Shenzhen, Miller said, is rooted in the idea of prenatal screening, but does not cross lines of genetic engineering or adding new genes. Its the genes that couples already have, Miller said, adding that that kid would belong to that couple as if they had it naturally, but it would be the smartest a couple would be able to produce if they had 100 kids.

Miller says genetics research is so advanced in China is because of a lack of religious culture that inhibits Western research. We have ideological biases that say, well, this could be troubling, we shouldnt be meddling with nature, we shouldnt be meddling with God.

But most Chinese, Miller believes, have no qualms about genetically engineering babies.

An audience would say, Obviously you should make babies genetically healthier, happier and brighter!

New Rochelle, NY, March 21, 2013A new study of patterns of brain communication in toddlers with autism shows evidence of aberrant neural communication even at this relatively early stage of brain development. The results are presented in an article in Brain Connectivity, a bimonthly peer-reviewed journal from Mary Ann Liebert, Inc., publishers. The article is available free on the Brain Connectivity website at http://www.liebertpub.com/brain.

A team of researchers from The Netherlands (University Medical Center Utrecht and Utrecht University, Radboud University Nijmegen Medical Center, and VU University Medical Center, Amsterdam) compared electroencephalography (EEG) recordings from young children with and without autism. The researchers evaluated the patterns of communication between various functional neural networks in the brain that aid in the processing and integration of information.

In the article "Disrupted Functional Brain Networks in Autistic Toddlers," Maria Boersma et al. describe significant differences in the communication patterns, in particular in variables such as path length and clustering.

"This work provides support to the hypothesis that autism is a disorder of connectivity," says Christopher Pawela, PhD, Co-Editor-in-Chief and Assistant Professor, Medical College of Wisconsin. "The researchers demonstrated that autistic children's brains have both reduced brain connectivity and a diminished capacity for neural communication. This is an interesting finding and has impact on the understanding of the abnormal brain development in autistic children."
