Researchers have identified specific genes containing rare mutations that significantly increase the likelihood of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. These findings, published in the ...

Mutations in a gene known as CPD play a crucial role in a rare form of congenital hearing loss, an international team of researchers has discovered. Scientists from the University of Chicago, the ...

While men may be able to have children much later than women, doing so could come with an increased risk of inherited disease for their children. Researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute have ...

Rare genetic mutation makes some people resistant to viral infections By Pranjal Malewar August 27, 2025 A new kind of antiviral treatment may be on the way, thanks to the strange genetics of people ...

A CRISPR system detects rare cancer mutations in blood with single-nucleotide precision, outperforming ddPCR through engineered RNA guides and isothermal amplification. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Hidden ...

The NF-κB signaling pathway plays a pivotal role in how our bodies fight infection, heal, and regulate inflammation. At the heart of this pathway is the NEMO protein, encoded by the IKBKG gene. When ...

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 ...

As we age, our cells accumulate DNA mutations. If any of these mutations confer a growth advantage to a self-renewing or long-lived progenitor cell, its lineage can expand. The progenitor cells that ...
