Latin American people are represented in fewer than 4% of genetic epidemiological studies around the world. When they are included, they’re often lumped together as one group, despite the rich diversity among different Latin American […]
Psychiatric disorders, such as bipolar disorder (BD), major depressive disorder (MDD), schizophrenia and anxiety disorders, adversely affect the daily functioning and well-being of millions of people worldwide. Understanding the neural and genetic underpinnings of these […]
Researchers at the Josep Carreras Leukaemia Research Institute have demonstrated that combining data from different origins enables a more precise characterization of cell type’s diversity into tissues and organs. The team also introduced scOMM, a […]
New twin research shows that innate IQ plays a major role in predicting your future socioeconomic status. The study, which follows twins during the crucial early adult years, reinforces the view that heredity and genes […]
Project MinE, an international consortium co-founded by researchers at King’s College London, has identified new genetic variants that play a role in the development of motor neuron disease (MND). These findings mean that a genetic […]
A collaborative research study co-led by scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Liber Institute for Brain Development has for the first time identified a biological process that may help […]
A 6-year-old girl is one of more than 80 people worldwide who has finally received a diagnosis of a new condition following research by scientists and doctors in Manchester. Ava Begley’s parents say they feel […]
Researchers at the Institute for Bioengineering of Catalonia (IBEC) have produced a mutational map showing how mutations in amylin—a hormone that plays a key role in glucose regulation—affect its tendency to form toxic amyloid aggregates […]
Scientists at Houston Methodist Research Institute have discovered that a fast-rising strep bacterium comes in more forms than expected, including ones that may lead to life-threatening infections. The study, led by James Musser, M.D., Ph.D., […]
A newly developed AI tool can dramatically speed up the search for the genetic causes of rare diseases, a process that often takes years and frequently ends without answers. The tool analyzes how genes have […]
