The familial trend, it turned out, was linked to a genetic mutation. That meant Bill might also be at risk for the disease.

The findings open up the possibility of developing treatments to target the gene in order to help curb population-wide sugar ...

University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers targeting a group of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases have found success ...

Researchers have combined two gene editing methods. This enables them to quickly investigate the significance of many genetic mutations involved in the development and treatment of cancer.

A new study in mice explains how even a single faulty copy of the BRCA1 gene can fuel tumor growth. The findings suggest the dominant “two-hit” hypothesis of cancer development may not tell the full ...

Geneticists looking inside the nuclear genome for mutations that contribute to disease have long relied on a principal known ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich combined two CRISPR-Cas methods to decipher how mutations in a cell’s genome affect its function.

There’s a local program called the Gene Health Project, and the idea is to learn any bad genetic news about yourself but ...
