Researchers reviewed how somatic mutations accumulate in normal and diseased tissues, showing that natural selection can expand clones that influence disease risk, tissue adaptation, or cellular ...

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have made an important discovery about how genetic mutations in breast cancer patients can interact and drive resistance to certain drugs ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare mutation in the MET gene that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The mutation disrupts the liver’s ability to ...

Researchers have discovered a new way to increase a key brain protein damaged in Rett syndrome, a rare genetic disorder that affects thousands of children worldwide. Early studies in mice and ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

A clustered family history of breast, ovarian, and colon cancers appropriately triggered germline testing, with BRCA1 mutation status informing individualized risk stratification and counseling.

A first-in-class gene-regulating therapy cut seizures by up to 91% in children with Dravet syndrome in extension studies, ...

A mutation in the TDP-43 protein reduces the viability of motor neurons without triggering protein clumps, researchers found.

Some koalas may recover their genes after major population crashes. Growing koala populations may rebuild genetic strength over time.

Houston Methodist scientists have uncovered an unexpected side of a protein best known for its link to brain diseases. The ...

Without interrupting their busy sleep schedule, Australia’s cute, if cantankerous, koalas have turned a truism of genetics on its head. In short, the proliferation of certain koala populations shows ...

Investigators at CHOP and UPenn found that lower cell counts could still be associated with poor outcomes if the cells were poorly differentiated.
