Copy number variations (CNVs) are a pervasive form of genomic variation that entail duplications or deletions of DNA segments ranging from kilobases to megabases. In animal genomes, CNVs contribute ...

An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...

Genetic ancestry plays a key role in determining the behavior of head and neck tumors and may help explain why African-American patients survive for half as long as their counterparts of European ...

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

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...

Genetic research uncovers a continuum between diabetes forms, offering insights for precision medicine. Study: Rare variant analyses in 51,256 type 2 diabetes cases and 370,487 controls reveal the ...
