Deafness, the most common sensorineural hearing loss at all stages of life, occurs either independently or as part of ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Despite progress in defining functional elements of noncoding DNA, it is still not fully understood. Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding ...

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 ...

Researchers have identified specific genes containing rare mutations that significantly increase the likelihood of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. These findings, published in the ...

Relationship Among DNA Damage Response Gene Alterations, Molecular Subtypes, and Survival Outcomes in Patients With Metastatic Bladder Cancer Treated on CALGB 90601 Sequencing data from 56,965 ...

Biological aging undeniably affects human cognitive function. 1 However, how this happens—the underlying factors, interactions, and processes—remains unclear. He and his team want to understand how ...

Researchers found a way to screen cancer-linked gene mutations much more easily and quickly than existing approaches, using a variant of CRISPR genome-editing known as prime editing. Tumors can carry ...

A rare form of diabetes is emerging in the very first weeks of life, reshaping how doctors think about blood sugar disorders ...

Germ cell tumors (GCTs) are a heterogeneous group of neoplasms that predominantly affect adolescents and young adults. Notably, geographical disparities in GCT incidence exist, with higher rates ...
