For 10% of colorectal cancer patients, hereditary factors play a role, with higher percentages among younger patients. Research from Radboud University Medical Center and University Hospital Bonn (UKB) in collaboration with researchers from Munich and […]
In its effort to correlate genomic structure with gene function, the 4D Nucleome Consortium (4DN), led by Job Dekker, Ph.D., at UMass Chan Medical School, has extensively mapped and analyzed the three-dimensional folding of the […]
Potentially more than 90% of Alzheimer’s disease cases would not occur without the contribution of a single gene (APOE), according to a new analysis led by UCL researchers.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Researchers from Radboud University Medical Center and University of Basel have discovered new genetic causes of inherited blindness. Their study, published in Nature Genetics, shows that changes in specific pieces of DNA, which play a […]
A new study published suggests that the connection between coronary artery calcification—a measure of calcium buildup in the arteries—and bone mineral density may be driven in part by shared genetic factors, rather than one directly […]
Maternal prenatal stress related to natural and human-made disasters can lead to epigenetic modifications in offspring, according to a recent narrative review.This article was originally published on MedicalXpress.com
Researchers have conducted the most comprehensive analysis to date linking plasma proteins to genetic variation in individuals from continental Africa. Their study addresses a long-standing gap by studying a population grossly underrepresented in medical research. […]
Deafness, the most common sensorineural hearing loss at all stages of life, occurs either independently or as part of syndromes associated with other symptoms, such as Usher syndrome type 1. In a study published in […]
Nearly 1 in 7 adults in the United States lives with chronic kidney disease, a condition that often advances quietly until serious damage has occurred. While diabetes and high blood pressure are well-known culprits, researchers […]
Treating acute myeloid leukemia (AML) depends on knowing what goes wrong inside cells. A new study suggests that two genetic mutations—IDH2 and SRSF2—work cooperatively to mis-splice RNA messages and change how blood cells develop.This article […]
