Ideograms and partial karyotypes are shown. For the deletions, the arrows indicate a) the deletion of chromosome 15q11-13 associated with Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes, and b) the deletion of ...

A mother-of-four from Cradley Heath, near Birmingham, has spoken of her two-year-old daughter's diagnosis with an extremely rare disorder, discovered by chance during an unrelated hospital visit.

Esotropia and exotropia could have shared genetic risk factors based on findings that genetif duplications on chromosomes were risk factors for the diseases. Genetic duplications in the second, fourth ...

Cell biologists have found a key clue in the mystery of how chromosomes are inherited correctly every time a cell divides. Using a novel cell probe, they unraveled how a 'matchmaker' molecule stops ...

Understanding the specific mutations that contribute to different forms of cancer is critical to improving diagnosis and treatment. But limitations in DNA sequencing technology make it difficult to ...

The longevity disparity between men and women may have its origins in ancient biological mechanisms, going beyond simple behavioral factors. An unprecedented comparative analysis, examining survival ...

In a recent study published in the Genes journal, researchers assessed the impact of PARK2 duplication or microdeletion on neurological diseases such as Parkinson's. The Parkinson's disease 2 (PARK2) ...

Geneticists from Ohio, California and Japan joined forces in a quest to correct a faulty chromosome through cellular reprogramming. Their study, published online today in Nature, used stem cells to ...

Scientists have confirmed that the Atlas blue butterfly carries the most chromosomes of any animal, with 229 pairs. Unlike duplication, its chromosomes split apart, reshaping its genome in surprising ...

Ideograms and partial karyotypes are shown. For the deletions, the arrows indicate a) the deletion of chromosome 15q11-13 associated with Prader-Willi and Angelman syndromes, and b) the deletion of ...
