Other research at U-M is developing new options for treating brain cancer through immunotherapy — harnessing the
immune system to attack cancer cells once an injection of a
particular gene therapy is delivered into the brain tumor.
The first diseases which benefited from
gene therapy were rare genetic diseases in which the
gene responsible had been identified, in
particular severe
immune deficiencies
The researchers were also able to demonstrate genetic changes in
genes that are involved in the
immune system, that regulates the structure of muscle and UV sensitivity, which may be adaptations to
particular environmental conditions.
In
particular, the
immune response was associated with a common form of a
gene found in the
immune system, which may explain why many people with Parkinson's disease carry this
gene variant.
That
particular high risk variant is not seen in Golden Retrievers, but the association between the
genes of the
immune system and hypothyroidism is incompletely investigated in Golden Retrievers.
