Panic Attack Gene Research…Marching Ahead

Better safe than sorry. Therefore, always to prevent the disease instead of seeking a cure. But if we already have a disease, then we find a cure as soon as possible. the reason behind the panic attacks are a genetic mutation and problems of 400 million people in the U.S. only. Although a nebula phase, where a breakthrough can be achieved cure of panic disorders. Before, when there was no room full of panic disorder cure, an estimated one in ten people are a patient with an anxiety disorder. This discovery was made by a team from the Center for Molecular Medicine and Biology of Barcelona and was reported in New Scientist magazine. The research found that scientists study families with a history of panic disorder, agoraphobia and social phobia. The results indicated that 90% of affected family members carried a genetic abnormality whereas the same mutation was found DUP25 appointed to be present in most cases unrelated that have been tested. This genetic mutation but was rare or not found in those without anxiety problems whatsoever. In Barcelona, the mutation occurs contains more than 60 genes, only 23 have so far been identified. However, scientists know that some of these genes make proteins that play a crucial role in controlling the way in which nerve cells communicate with each other. One theory raised by this group of scientists is that the gene mutation causing an imbalance in the production of these proteins in the brain is exceedingly sensitive to react to stressful situations. An interesting fact that scientists have developed shows that not all people with the mutation DUP25 suffer from anxiety disorders. The mutation DUP25 tends to change from generation to generation. According to Dr. Monica Gratacos, a researcher said: "The environment is also very important. In the affected families, for example, 20% of people with disease DUP25 had no anxiety at all." The tram is currently working on the genes that cause exactly DUP25 anxiety disorders and what medication can cure anxiety attack. The basic cure for panic attacks can be attributed to remove any of the genes or protein products. The genetic mutation for DUP25 is different for each individual, since not all cells to mutate. Dr. Raymond Crow, a psychiatrist at the University of Iowa is involved with related genetic studies of panic disorder to New Scientist magazine that the discovery in the anxiety attacks was "a very important finding," adding that "It seems that found a completely new mechanism of disease. " Environmental and hereditary factors all contribute to panic disorders. An expert in panic disorders and a clinical psychologist based in Dorset Healthcare NHS Trust, Professor Roger Baker told the BBC it was likely that panic attacks were caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. Those who experienced a relative with panic disorder were more likely to develop the disorder similar to the general population, he said. People with family history, or certain family members who suffer from panic disorders, are likely to be affected by this disease. It is estimated that between half and three quarters of people who wanted to be treated for panic attacks, had no parental history of it. In addition, 8% of the panic attacks are caused by drug abuse and stressful lifestyle. According to Professor Baker, this is not a simple matter and is likely to be a balance between various factors that cause anxiety attacks. "It's very possible that some people have a general susceptibility to panic attacks, but probably would need some type of traumatic event to Set It Off." A combination of anxiety disorder help and antidepressants, relaxation techniques and self-help methods have proved beneficial in the treatment of panic disorder.
