Researchers use long-read genome sequencing to discover 33% more structural variants and 38% more tandem repeats linked to autism spectrum disorder.

In a new study, researchers across three US states analyzed seven viral outbreaks in recent decades, including Covid, Ebola ...

About 40% of East Asians suffer from alcohol intolerance, known as "Asian Flush Syndrome," caused by an ALDH2 genetic ...

Findings could help yield more accurate tests for autism and new therapies targeting specific genetic mechanisms.

A systematic review of 52 scientific papers submitted to a world-leading clinical genetics journal from multiple scientists ...

Koala populations with low genetic diversity are actually recovering by "reshuffling" their genes to remove harmful mutations ...

Researchers reviewed how somatic mutations accumulate in normal and diseased tissues, showing that natural selection can expand clones that influence disease risk, tissue adaptation, or cellular ...

Scientists have mapped a direct link between a common brain gas and the hyperactive cell growth often seen in autism. Protecting a specific protein from this gas normalized behavior in animal models ...

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 ...

It's long been assumed that koalas in southern Australia are genetically unhealthy. A new study finds they're actually recovering, changing how scientists look at genetic risks.

A clustered family history of breast, ovarian, and colon cancers appropriately triggered germline testing, with BRCA1 mutation status informing individualized risk stratification and counseling.

When a species lives in two distinct types of habitats, individuals with traits better suited to each habitat will thrive and ...
