Genetic Basis of Brain Diseases: Set of Proteins Account for Over 130 Brain Diseases

ScienceDaily (Dec. 19, 2010)

"Since many different diseases involve the same set of proteins we might be able to develop new treatments that could be used on many diseases," says Professor Grant. To aid in this objective the group has created the first molecular network, a roadmap of the molecular organisation of human synapses, which shows how the many proteins and diseases are interconnected. "We also can see ways to develop new genetic diagnostic tests and ways to help doctors classify the brain diseases."
