Are genetic defects, cancer, epilepsy, deafness, blindness, diseases of the brain or even infertility different from the Indian population, compared to other population groups? It is a matter of several researchers in Bangalore, trying to meet its work on the forefront of the field of genomics.
Finding answers could pave the way for early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of various diseases. One of the largest research efforts being done outside the city is in the field of genetics of cancer. Entitled “New targets for the treatment of cancer with the approach of genomics and proteomics” research is a cooperative effort cancer screening, researchers throughout the world “to decipher the genetic changes that occur during the birth and cancer progression.
The leadership of the Indian Institute of Science bio-chemistry professor MRS Rao, the study looks at the genetics of different types of cancer, in order to find likely targets of the drug fight against the disease. One of important discoveries that came near the study is the discovery of a new gene ‘X’ in India patients who can help clinicians days on the development of brain illness.
The Indian Institute of Science Researchers also new types of defects for Indians BRCA1, one of two genes linked with breast cancer, according to the first study ever on gene therapy in India.
“Our data from 14 families suggests a prevalence lower, but the participation of germ-line mutations in the BRCA1 gene among Indian women with breast cancer and a family history of breast cancer,” said Soma Kumaravel Sundaram, Department of Cell Biology and microbiologgy in IISc.
New gaps were also recognized IISc genes in blindness because of glaucoma.
At the Jawaharlal Nehru Center for Advanced Scientific Research, researchers have identified a gene that epilepsy.
The research group headed by Professor Anand Anuranjan is currently in a common effort to digitize epilepsy Indian families concerned for the development of new genes associated with epilepsy.
The group was also the identification of genes and mutations cause deafness and showed that mutations in the gene connexin26 is a major cause of profound deafness in the Indian population.
“Identifying these mutations in infants and children, help in early diagnosis of deafness, so that intervention strategies can be achieved at an early stage, such as rehabilitation,” says Professor Anand.
A large part of gene research in the city is also laying new diagnostic techniques for diseases and disorders of health. The study of breast cancer, for example, a test for early detection of hereditary breast cancers.
Genetics many projects are also on other laboratories, including the city of Nimhans.

BANGALORE: Are genetic defects, cancer, epilepsy, deafness, blindness, brain disease or even infertility different in the Indian population, compared with other population groups? This is a question many researchers are trying to answer Bangalore their work in the field of genomics-edged.
To find answers, could pave the way for early diagnosis, prevention and treatment of several diseases. A major research effort is outside the city lies in the field of cancer genetics. The title "The new objectives of cancer genomics and proteomics with the approach" of research effort is a collaboration between cancer researchers across the country "to decipher the genetic
Dharamshila Cancer Hospital in Vasundhara in the enclave of Noida, nearly 50 per cent discount on the breast screening for women with a family history of breast cancer. The discount can be enjoyed by 15 August.
Oncologists warn that women whose main ones are suffering from breast cancer are at high risk, the dreaded disease. Dr MS Ganesh, Senior surgical oncologist at the hospital, said: "The risk may go up to seven fold. We must find more and more patients with breast cancer with positive family history. Lack of awareness with respect for the prevention of risks led to the detection
The World Homeopathic Development Organisation (WHDO) organised a rally against dreaded cancer in the Capital today. The rally began from Jantar Mantar and concluded at Town Hall, Chandni Chowk.
Hundreds of people, including homeopathy doctors and cancer patients, participated in the rally, holding banners and placards with the message to fight cancer The cancer patients, who participated in the rally, were those who had benefited by the treatment given by the WHDO.
Dr A. M. Mathur, president of the WHDO, said on the occasion that the main objective behind the rally was to create awareness among the masses about the disease and
The NSS and youth of the Red Cross units Coimbatore Institute of Engineering and Technology at the information in a day Cancer Awareness Programme organised by Sri Ramakrishna Institute of Oncology and Research and the National Cancer Institute Adyar Cancer Awareness Day on 7 November.
The objective of the programme was to dispel myths about cancer and the establishment of an awareness of the disease.
