A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...

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 ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of ...

Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, scientists have identified subtle genetic mutation clusters in the ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...

Human cells usually contain two copies of most genes, one of which comes from the mother while the other comes from the father. It's long been thought that usually these two copies, or alleles of ...

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called B-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue ...

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, ...

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that predominantly affect adolescents and young adults. Notably, geographical disparities in GCT incidence exist, with higher rates ...
