The human genetic code is fully mapped out, providing scientists with a blueprint of the DNA to identify genomic regions and their variations responsible for diseases. Traditional statistical tools ...
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 ...
Scientists at La Jolla Institute for Immunology (LJI) have discovered how a mutated gene kicks off a dangerous chain of events during blood cell production. "We know that many diseases—and all cancers ...

New CRISPR leap could transform treatment for genetic diseases
Gene editing has moved from theory to bedside with a speed that would have seemed impossible a decade ago. A new wave of ...
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and others have identified a neurodevelopmental disorder, caused by mutations in a single gene, that affects tens of thousands of people ...

This rare genetic mutation kills brain cells, and we finally know why
Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...
Most mutations that cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a major study of human protein variants that was published in Nature ...
What if doctors could look at a person’s DNA and not only spot a harmful mutation, but also predict the kind of disease it may cause—before symptoms fully appear? Scientists at the Icahn School of ...
During development of the digestive system, a complex network of nerves forms around it, creating a "second brain"—the enteric nervous system (ENS)—which controls the movement of food and waste ...
Human semen not only accumulates genetic mutations with age; as the percentage of sperm carrying potentially serious mutations increases, so does the risk of developing diseases in offspring. This is ...
The PhD student with a background in physics, is not only focused on the performance of statistical models for genomic predictions but is also keen on understanding the underlying biological ...
