Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health ...

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Case Western Reserve University is part of a landmark study that has discovered four novel gene variations associated with blood pressure. The 19-site meta-analysis, involving nearly 30,000 ...

Structural variants (SVs) are alterations in the DNA sequence that involve large-scale changes, typically longer than 50 base pairs. Advances in long-read sequencing have significantly increased ...

New research bolsters the idea that the risk for psychiatric and developmental disorders isn’t specific to particular conditions — and that could mean new opportunities to treat mental illnesses that ...

Certain common genetic changes might make some people with focal epilepsy less responsive to seizure medications, finds a new global study. Certain common genetic changes might make some people with ...

Move aside, Neanderthals, new suitors of modern humans have been discovered from the Altai Mountains of Siberia. These suitors are the Denisovans, whose interbreeding with modern humans apparently ...
