Despite the gazillions of hours (and possibly as many dollars) spent searching for a cure for cancer, none has emerged. This is primarily because every tumor has a different mutational profile and ...

Mutations in a gene that can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, even in people who have risk factors such as obesity and old age, has been found by an international team of researchers.

—Do secondary mutations explain why patients with AML with a history of myelodysplasia-related changes and the NPM1 mutation have outcomes that are inferior to those in patients with normal ...

Scientists at the Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute, where one-third of the human genome was sequenced, have now pioneered decoding the sequence of cancer genomes. They have carried out the broadest ...

Scientists have made a rare discovery that allows them to attribute two types of tumour almost entirely to specific mutations that lie in two related genes. Scientists have made a rare discovery that ...

Mutations in a gene known as CPD play a crucial role in a rare form of congenital hearing loss, an international team of ...

A multinational study has identified a key gene mutation responsible for type 2 diabetes in nearly 10 percent of patients of white European ancestry. The study, which originated in Italy and was ...

Researchers have identified a gene mutation that appears to be a cause of Type 2 diabetes in roughly 10 percent of Caucasian patients, making it the largest single genetic clue to the disease ...
