For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate ...

One of the most immediate impacts of AI in medical genetics lies in diagnosis, particularly for rare and complex genetic ...

Scientists at The Hospital for Sick Children (SickKids) are delving deep into the non-coding genome to unravel the complex genetics that underlie blood pressure regulation and hypertension (high blood ...

Today's biomedical researchers are relentlessly searching for genes that drive disease, with the goal of creating therapies that target those genes to restore health. When a single gene is the culprit ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...

Researchers have released TripletDGC, a publicly available resource that links nearly 10,000 disease-associated genes to the specific cell types they most strongly affect, filling a critical gap in ...

Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body — and can clarify how diseases develop. When you purchase through links on our ...

Cystic fibrosis represents one of the most common inherited genetic disorders affecting people of European descent, touching the lives of approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States alone.

A groundbreaking gene-editing method from UT Austin is changing the game for treating complex genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and Tay Sachs. Using retrons—DNA tools borrowed from ...

Although schwannomatosis is a genetic condition, the inheritance patterns for this disorder are complex and much less clear than for both NF1 and NF2. Some cases of schwannomatosis are familial, with ...
