A research team at the Korea University College of Medicine has uncovered a genetic mechanism responsible for delayed tooth development and impaired mineralization. The team, led by Professor Hae-chul Park (Department of Biomedical Sciences, Korea […]
Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are actually involved in the disease mechanisms? An international team led by Helmholtz Munich has now used globally […]
No matter how much they brush their teeth, some people still get more cavities than others, in part because of differences in genetics and the make-up of the microbes in their mouths. A new study […]
Baylor College of Medicine researchers are part of a collaborative research group with AstraZeneca and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center that have identified 22 genes which increase the risk of developing a range of chronic […]
Virginia Tech researchers have discovered an indication hidden in the brain that may help doctors identify children suffering from a rare genetic disease earlier. Their findings are published in EMBO Molecular Medicine.This article was originally […]
UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights into the ways diverse genetic causes may lead to […]
The tiny zebrafish is helping researchers rapidly determine whether a newborn’s genetic mutation is likely to cause spinal muscular atrophy (SMA), one of the leading causes of infant mortality worldwide. The world-first research, led by […]
For the first time, researchers at King’s College London and the University of Florence have identified the specific genetic blueprint of mania, the defining feature of bipolar disorder. Bipolar disorder is one of the most […]
Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the University of British Columbia are extending those possibilities to the skin for the first time. The UBC team, together […]
Researchers at the University of Oulu have identified genes that increase susceptibility to pneumonia. Alongside inherited risk factors, smoking and higher body mass were also found to raise the risk of developing the disease. The […]
