Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare mutation in the MET gene that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The mutation disrupts the liver’s ability to ...

Since the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, something has concerned scientists: can exposure to radiation leave marks in someone’s DNA that are passed on to ...

In 1986, the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl released large amounts of ionizing radiation (IR) into the environment, and became one of the most serious ...

Cats are exposed to some of the same environmental cancer risks as their owners, which means that some causes could, at least in part, be shared. By sequencing DNA from tissue samples that had already ...

After nearly 40 years, a new study has found that children of Chernobyl workers have mutations within their DNA ...

But… they had survived. For years, in fact. And now, 40 years post-Chernobyl, the wolves in the Exclusion Zone aren’t just thriving despite the radiation – they seem to have developed an outright ...

The Chornobyl nuclear disaster has shown an indirect effect on the children of those exposed to radiation in 1986. Scientists have evidence that their DNA was altered as genes were passed on to them ...

Researchers from the University of Bonn have shown that children of cleanup workers at the power plant have an increased number of mutations in their DNA.

The DNA damage from ionizing radiation (IR) erupting from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 is showing up in the children of those originally exposed, researchers have found – the first time such ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...
