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 ...

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

New research reveals that certain brain tumors may originate silently within normal brain cells long before a tumor forms.

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

They are genes commonly associated with breast cancer in women, but in fact men who carry certain mutations in their BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at higher risk of developing certain types of cancer ...

Cabinet Peaks Medical Center is proud to offer a convenient, affordable, and accurate genetic testing option for men and ...

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors with almost no way to intervene. Researchers have now traced that ...

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 ...
