A team of researchers have worked together to identify possible genes associated with certain metabolites—molecules involved in the body’s biochemical processes—and cardiovascular risk.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
An ancient gene mutation among First Nations inhabitants of Oceania may make them more susceptible to infectious diseases like influenza, according to a new study by scientists at the University of Colorado Anschutz Medical Campus.This […]
Recent years have seen a vast amount of multi-omics data related to brain development emerging, with rapid advancements in neurodevelopmental research and high-throughput technologies. However, the lack of a comprehensive resource integrating these datasets limits […]
University of Oregon biologists have uncovered a mechanism by which a well-known breast cancer gene also influences fertility. Mutations in the BRCA1 gene sharply increase a person’s risk of developing breast cancer, and BRCA1 patients […]
Scientists at deCODE genetics/Amgen, and their collaborators have discovered six novel genes with rare germline variants that associate with cancer risk. The findings are published today in Nature Genetics under the title “Gene-based burden tests […]
A new UC Davis MIND Institute study offers critical insights into Rett syndrome, a rare genetic condition that affects mostly girls. The research reveals how this condition affects males and females differently, with symptoms progression […]
Increased risk for autism appears to be linked to the Y chromosome, a Geisinger Health System study has found, offering a new explanation for the greater prevalence of autism in males. The results are published […]
A new study conducted by SISSA’s Laboratory of Cerebral Cortex Development and recently published in BMC Biology has led to a surprising revelation about the role of the FOXG1 gene: not only does it orchestrate […]
Abdominal pain, diarrhea, and debilitating fatigue define the daily lives of millions of people worldwide who suffer from chronic bowel disease. Most of these individuals are diagnosed in their youth, and the disease’s progression can […]
When trying to understand how genetic influences factor into youth behavior, researchers at Washington University in St. Louis have taken the “big trawl” approach, casting their net wide to pull in all the measured traits, […]
