A new biomarker has been discovered which could help doctors diagnose patients who have an increased risk of developing breast cancer. According to Science Magazine, the work was carried out by experts at the Virginia Bioinformatics Institute (VBI) and a number of other organisations, who have managed to find a new genetic biomarker within non-coding human DNA (DNA that does not transcribe into protein). As part of the research, the team looked at the repetitive sequences of a specific microsatellite - repeating sequences of one to six base pairs of DNA. It was discovered that people with longer sequences of this microsatellite are more likely to be susceptible to developing breast cancer. The research has suggested that people with more than 13 copies of the repeat are three times more likely to be susceptible to the cancer than those who do not.The research was carried out by a team which included Harold Garner, executive director of the VBI; Dr Michael Skinner, professor of paediatric surgery at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Centre; and Dr James Mullet, radiologist at Carilion Clinic's Breast Care Centre.More research now needs to be carried out to make this...more

Mesothelioma can affect any part and organ of the body if not detected on time. Peritoneal Mesothelioma Symptoms The symptoms may not appear soon after exposure to asbestos.
