Deafness, the most common sensorineural hearing loss at all stages of life, occurs either independently or as part of ...

Genetic disorders — like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease — are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one ...

It's not just the number of mutations that matters. It's the failure to fix them too. The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more ...

A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has become a potent tool in identifying genetic mutations. By leveraging AI capabilities, scientists can rapidly and accurately analyze vast amounts of data. This ...

Genomic studies of cancer patients have revealed thousands of mutations linked to tumor development, but researchers are unsure how the vast majority of these mutations contribute to cancer because ...

Mitochondrial diseases affect approximately 1 in 5,000 people worldwide, causing debilitating symptoms ranging from muscle weakness to stroke-like episodes. Some of these conditions result from ...

The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more new mutations are inherited from fathers than from mothers. It doesn't, however, clarify ...

The neurodevelomental disease Rett syndrome is usually caused by mutations in a gene called MECP2, which is located on the X chromosome. Patients lose coordination, mobility, and their ability to ...
