Harmful genetic changes in sperm become substantially more common as men age because some are actively favored during sperm production, new research has revealed.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Bladder cancer is one of the most common cancers worldwide. Men are around four times more likely to develop it than women, and smoking is the main known environmental risk factor. However, the biological mechanisms […]
The suspected causes of Alzheimer’s disease are diverse, and its cures are, today, nonexistent.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
The prevalence of Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is approximately two times higher in African Americans (AA) compared to white/European-ancestry (EA) individuals living in the U.S. Some of this is due to social determinants of health such […]
Scientists at the University of East Anglia and Oxford Biodynamics have developed a high accuracy blood test to diagnose chronic fatigue syndrome, also known as myalgic encephalomyelitis (ME/CFS).This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Whole genome sequencing offered to breast cancer patients is likely to identify unique genetic features that could either guide immediate treatment or help match patients to clinical trials, say scientists at the University of Cambridge. […]
Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide diagnosis and treatment. But for […]
Important genetic differences in how females and males experience depression have been revealed for the first time in findings that could pave the way for more targeted intervention and treatments.This article was originally published on […]
Understanding the interaction between immune cells and cancer cells has important implications for cancer immunotherapies, including checkpoint inhibitor drugs and cell-based therapies, as well as newer treatments like cancer vaccines.This article was originally published on […]
A “genomic-first” approach to screening for rare genetic disorders—identifying specific genetic variants and then studying associated traits and symptoms—can identify these conditions earlier and more frequently than standard genetic testing driven by clinical symptoms, a […]
