A study led by Aaron Hobbs, Ph.D., and Rachel Burge, Ph.D., at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, reveals why a specific gene ...
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 ...
The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...
For a long time, evolutionary biologists have thought that the genetic mutations that drive the evolution of genes and proteins are largely neutral: they're neither good nor bad, but just ordinary ...
Researchers from Japan report that they have characterized gene mutations in colorectal cancer (CRC) tumors with high tumor mutation burden that lack mutations in the major oncogenes. Their findings ...
Fish that survive in extreme deep-sea environments have developed the same genetic mutation despite evolving separately and at different times, researchers say. The scientists also found industrial ...
A genetic variant is likely putting some children suffering with myocarditis—inflammation of the heart muscle—at higher risk of developing heart failure, which can be fatal, according to a study ...
