Alcohol-induced flushing is caused by an inherited deficiency in an enzyme called aldehyde dehydrogenase 2 (ALDH2) and recent studies show that people with this deficiency are more exposed to the risk of developing esophageal cancer (specifically squamous cell carcinoma) from... (Continue reading)
Genetic Predisposition for Blood Cancers Confirmed
Myeloproliferative disorders (MPDs) are a group of blood cancers characterized by the excess production of red and white blood cells, many cases of which being caused by a mutation in a gene called JAK2. A recent study carried out at... (Continue reading)
