A multi-university research team co-led by University of Virginia engineering professor Gustavo K. Rohde has developed a system that can spot genetic markers of autism in brain images with 89 to 95% ...

Genetics play a role in low testosterone for some men, but underlying causes vary widely. Many genes influence testosterone ...

The symptoms of attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) and autism have many things in common; they are both common psychiatric diagnosis of children, they are heritable conditions, and there ...

Imagine identifying autism before its behavioral signs appear. This may become a reality thanks to a groundbreaking technique called “transport-based morphometry” (TBM). TBM is a method that uses ...

In the largest genome-wide association study to date on Type 2 diabetes, a team of international researchers has located 1,289 genetic markers associated with Type 2 diabetes (145 of which are newly ...

A genome-wide association study (GWAS) including more than 22,000 people with multiple sclerosis (MS) has uncovered the first genetic variant associated with faster progression of the autoimmune ...

In this paper, rather than focusing on genes as an organising concept around which historical considerations of theory and practice in genetics are elucidated, we place genetic markers at the heart of ...

Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) is a heart condition that people typically inherit from their biological parents through their genes. Genetic testing can help identify people at risk of developing ...

A U.S.-based biotech company has unveiled a new in vitro fertilization (IVF) option that allows parents to select embryos based on genetic markers tied to health and longevity. DNA testing and ...

Turfgrass species are integral to urban landscapes, sports facilities and ecological systems, and their broad genetic diversity underpins their adaptability to diverse environmental conditions. This ...
