The following information is about Gene.
Gene Defined
A unit of inheritance; a working subunit of DNA. Each of the body's 20,000 to 25,000 genes contains the code for a specific product, typically, a protein such as an enzyme. (Revised: October 2004)
This definition is in context to Gene Testing. See more contextual defintions for Gene.
Gene domino effect 'behind tumours'
Published September 5, 2008, 4:31 pm, The West Australian
US scientists have mapped the cascade of genetic changes that turn normal cells in the brain and pancreas into two of the most lethal cancers. The result points to a new approach for fighting tumours and maybe even catching them sooner.

Fear of commitment: Is it really in our DNA?
Published September 5, 2008, 2:40 pm, KLTV 7 Tyler
It's the first gene linked to male bonding. Researchers from Sweden say they have found some men have a gene variation that actually makes it harder for them to bond in a relationship. Some of you we talked to today, however, have a hard time believing a man's DNA explains why he fears commitment. But as KLTV 7's Molly Reuter explains, it may not be as farfetched as you think.

Scientists Map Complete Genetic Blueprint Of Deadly Cancers
Published September 5, 2008, 1:14 pm, Medical News Today
In what has been heralded as a significant breakthrough in the fight against two of the world's deadliest cancers, US scientists have mapped complete genetic blueprints comprising more than 20,000 genes in 24 pancreatic cancers and 22 brain cancers, including not only individual gene mutations but also their interlinked pathways which sustain tumour development and growth.

- Genetics and infectious disease | Some people are more prone to infection than others. One answer could be to dose them with the molecules that their immune systems cannot make| Economist.com: Different alleles of certain genes cause some people to succumb to infection whereas others are left relatively unscathed. They thus hope to explain not only why some people can be infested with virulent microbes without contracting a disease (whereas others become ill even though they are less infected) but also why such patterns run in families and in ethnic groups. A single gene out of the 25,000 or so in the human genome can make all the difference to whether or not a person suffers from many common diseases. The lack of a molecule called type 1 interferon plays a role in innate immunity: the defence against infection that babies are born with. Adaptive immunity is thought to be a response to specific bacteria, viruses, fungi and parasites (the development of specific antibodies). Innate immunity is the body's general response to all threats of disease; however new research suggests that innate immunity could be specific, too and it is genetic trait.
