Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau, proteins that have long been the ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

New research finds that retinal diseases thought to map one-to-one to genetic mutations are more complicated than that.

Genetic mutations aren't always a bad thing. A groundbreaking new study suggests that mutations on a single gene may actually be beneficial when it comes to Alzheimer’s disease. For the study, Dr.

Scientists at Duke-NUS Medical School and the National University Health System (NUHS), together with an international team ...

A rare genetic mutation that causes a deficiency in an immune regulator called ISG15 is known to make people more vulnerable to some bacterial infections and cause persistent inflammation — but it can ...

Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for ...

An affordable new BRCA gene test has hit the market, but who should take it? — -- A new genetic testing kit that hits the market today is the most affordable, and arguably one of the simplest, ...

Scientists at UCLA and the University of Toronto have developed an advanced computational tool, called moPepGen, that helps identify previously invisible genetic mutations in proteins, unlocking new ...

Researchers create Chinese Immune Multi-Omics Atlas, profiling more than 10 million immune cells and identifying 73 types of immune cells.

Duke-NUS and NUHS scientists uncover a complex web of genetic, age-related and microbial factors that increase the risk of stomach cancer. Age-related blood cell mutations may trigger early changes in ...
