Mouse DNA defects hidden mysteries of human infertility found birth control genes

Research on cancer experts occasionally discovered the gene of birth control, that in order to further unravel why some people cannot clear the mystery of procreation.

Peter Cancer Center's Michael said, mouse genetics, born lack a can repair damaged DNA gene. If there is damage to DNA, the mouse cannot reproduce. Lost-gene (gene are generally double) mouse is not likely to raise a family. And those who only have a gene in two genes, usually produced by hypoplasia of GNOME, most will die. In genetic research studies in mice as the mouse object because with human-like gene structure.

Professor Peter are the scientists called REC8 genes, to fix since the acceptance of radiotherapy and damaged genetic material is very important. Radiation therapy is usually found in cancer treatment. The purpose of this study is to determine what genes to human beings are vulnerable to the adverse effects of radiation therapy. If possible, find what aroused reactions that can vary in case you need to make the dosage, allowing the body to endure radiation therapy who apply higher doses to achieve better results.

Peter said: "we are on the gene of interest, it is because of this gene in the repair of DNA damage caused by radiation therapy is superb; the gene get from other parts of the normal DNA and DNA damage. Hard to believe that a similar exchange so that the damaged DNA recovery to a normal state. ”

The genes on the discovery of reproductive work, Monash Institute of male infertility expert cleather, has extraordinary significance. Placer claims that these discoveries can be applied to the sterile male genetic samples for evaluation. He also said: "we all are concerned about the mouse test in the cause of infertility causes new genetic aspects. These research results, we can design the appropriate experimental study on whether to also have the same human beings can cause sterility gene mutation. If this gene is present, the mystery of human infertility can be solved. ”
