Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no ...

Researchers identify genetic mutation in small group of people who developed the serious disorder after receiving the ...

A Google DeepMind invention that uses artificial intelligence (AI) to predict how DNA mutations behave could have a ...

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouses of the cell because of their energy generating capabilities. These little organelles are very special, because they also carry their own tiny little ...

After decades of fixating on mutations in nuclear DNA as the prime suspects in cancer development, researchers are increasingly peering into the cell’s powerhouse for clues. Mutations in mitochondrial ...

Australian researchers have discovered that a single mutation in the DNA sequence for a methylation enzyme dysregulates key tumor-suppressing pathways, opening up new avenues for blood cancer ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have developed a promising gene-editing therapy that directly corrects a genetic mutation responsible for autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD), the most common ...

The DNA of Chernobyl cleanup workers showed mutations caused by radiation that were also evident in the genes of their ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

The disease leads to the progressive growth of fluid-filled cysts in the kidneys, often resulting in kidney failure and other ...

That gene will now likely function normally for the rest of their lives, potentially stopping further damage to their lungs and livers, Evans says. Beam has also found preliminary success with another ...
