An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease. This breakthrough, detailed in a new ...

Researchers at Cedars-Sinai Health Sciences University and Johns Hopkins University have identified genetic mutations that may explain why some people develop a spontaneous cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) ...

A study by IRB Barcelona reveals that transfer RNA (tRNA) genes accumulate mutations at a frequency up to nine times higher than average. These mutations specifically target the region that "reads" ...

Researchers have discovered that a mutation of the MDGA1 gene, a key factor modulating the connections and characteristics between nerve cells, serves as a new cause of autism spectrum disorder (ASD), ...

An international team of scientists headed by researchers at the University of Edinburgh, has created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene, CTNNB1, influence ...

Peter Mac scientists have found a way to use the powerful gene editing tool CRISPR to silence cancer-causing gene mutations which, up to now, have remained off-limits to targeted drugs. Dr. Mohamed ...

A newly identified gene mutation may help explain why schizophrenia patients struggle to update their understanding of reality. The mutation disrupts a brain circuit involved in flexible ...

Mutations in the BRCA1 gene that are either inherited (germline) or acquired (somatic) might not be key to the initiation of prostate cancer, as previously thought, suggests the first study of its ...

Eight percent of children with cerebral palsy (CP) who undergo genetic testing have mutations that can be used to personalise treatment, revealed a study published recently in JAMA Pediatrics. This ...
