Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized gene-editing tool, the TadA-embedded adenine base […]
A research team led by scientists at Queen Mary University of London and University College London (UCL) has found new clues about how the brains of people with Down syndrome develop differently from a very […]
A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those are the findings of a new Washington […]
People often remark that allergies run in their family, but the genetic causes have remained unclear. Previous food allergy genetic research has relied upon broad but surface-level methods called genome-wide association studies.This article was originally […]
Artificial intelligence has taken the world by storm. In biology, AI tools called deep neural networks (DNNs) have proven invaluable for predicting the results of genomic experiments. Their usefulness has these tools poised to set […]
The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) can cause certain types of cancer or autoimmune diseases, but how the body controls this common viral infection is largely unknown. Researchers at the University Hospital Bonn (UKB) and the University […]
Rare diseases are complex medical disorders that are notoriously difficult to diagnose because many present with a wide variety of symptoms that can overlap with more common illnesses. Currently, around 300 million people globally are […]
Neuroscience rarely enjoys clean experiments. Most brain disorders are mosaics of risk genes, aging, lifestyle and chance that leave their origins obscured. Huntington’s disease (HD) is different. It begins with a single genetic expansion—a repeated […]
Age, biological sex, and human genetic factors influence the production of antibodies during the immune response. A team of scientists from the Institut Pasteur, the CNRS and the Collège de France have shown that these […]
Hispanic patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) have varying disease patterns depending on their genetic ancestry, according to a study published online Feb. 9 in Gastroenterology.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
