Thank you for supporting Rare Disease Day! My son Gage passed away from a rare genetic disease called early-onset LAL deficiency (also known as Wolman disease) in 2009. Rare Disease Day means so much to the millions of people and families affected by the approximately 7,000 rare diseases. Thanks again! Mary http://www.lalsolace.org

Hi Lisa,

This is a study of a mouse model of medulloblastoma. Further studies will be needed to determine if the findings in mice apply to patients, and if so, which subset of patients can benefit from therapies that are identified in the animals.

Thank you for your comment! Best of luck to you and your family.

Best,
Heather

Comment on How antipsychotics cause side effects such as obesity and diabetes by Heather Buschman

Heather Buschman — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 04:55:22 +0000

Hi Dan,

Thanks for your question. Molindone and ziprasidone are not associated with strong metabolic side effects in patients and, in this study, they did not affect insulin promoter activity or activate SMAD3.

Best,
Heather
