Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

Hereditary ATTR-CM can run in families. Learn who may be at risk, when genetic testing is recommended, the benefits of screening, and how to talk with relatives.

Cancer begins when mutations in specific genes override the body’s built-in controls on cell division, allowing rogue cells ...

Researchers at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have made an important discovery about how genetic mutations in ...

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 ...

Scientists have discovered a surprising mechanism by which the inherited genetic mutation known to cause Huntington's disease leads to the death of brain cells. The findings change the understanding ...

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 ...

Tobacco smoking is linked to specific genetic mutations in MDS, affecting chromatin modification and RNA splicing pathways. A dose-response relationship exists, with higher smoking intensity ...

Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women, making up 30% of all new cases each year. Knowledge is power when it comes to detection and prevention of this disease: Genetic testing can play an ...
