A new synthesis finds that common epilepsies are driven by thousands of tiny-effect genetic variants, most still ...

Epilepsy is not one disease. It is a constellation of seizure disorders that affects approximately 50 million people globally and carries increased mortality, psychiatric comorbidity, and, for roughly ...

A significant proportion of repeated pregnancy failures can be attributed to chromosomal abnormalities—either inherited from one of the parents or arising spontaneously in the embryo.

Researchers have found 58 genetic variants linked to an increased risk of anxiety, suggesting that the disorder is not driven by a "single anxiety gene". The researchers, led by those from Texas A&M ...

“We have discovered that people carrying rare, naturally occurring mutations in a gene called CHRNB3 tend to smoke significantly fewer cigarettes per day,” explain the study’s lead authors, ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do ...

Dennis Lal, a renowned neurogenetics expert, succeeds Marion Ball at the Center for Innovation in Health Informatics ...

Hypermobile Ehlers-Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is one of the most common heritable connective tissue disorders. Early estimates have reported that this genetic disorder affects at least one in 5,000 ...
