University of California San Diego School of Medicine researchers, in collaboration with the genetic testing company 23andMe, have identified regions of the human genome associated with cannabis use, uncovering new relationships with psychiatric, cognitive and […]
Low cholesterol can reduce the risk of dementia, a new University of Bristol-led study with more than a million participants has shown.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Florey researchers have shown that a father’s SARS-CoV-2 viral infection before conception can alter their offspring’s brain development and behavior, through changes in sperm. Lead researcher Professor Anthony Hannan said the study in mice suggested […]
New research from the University of Adelaide has explored the genomic links within the index used to measure healthy aging—intrinsic capacity (IC), paving the way for potential targeted interventions.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Adding genomic sequencing to newborn blood screening would detect hundreds of additional childhood conditions, providing much earlier diagnosis and treatment, according to a new study. A baby’s genome, which stays with them for life, could […]
In an exciting scientific first, researchers at the Allen Institute successfully designed a new gene therapy that reversed symptoms related to SYNGAP1-related disorders (SRD) in mice. These are a class of brain disorders that can […]
Rare hereditary diseases can be identified in patients and specific mutations in tumor cells detected—DNA sequencing revolutionized biomedical research decades ago. In recent years, new sequencing methods (next-generation sequencing) in particular have resulted in numerous […]
Errors in a gene known to cause a serious neurodevelopmental condition in infants are also linked to the development of Parkinson’s disease in adolescence and adulthood, according to new research.This article was originally published on […]
Could an anomaly in the developing brain explain motor difficulties occurring decades later in people with rare movement disorders?This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide […]
