Precision medicine in GU cancers is evolving with biomarkers like BRCA1/2 mutations influencing PARP inhibitor use and pembrolizumab's tumor-agnostic approval for microsatellite instability. FGFR3 ...

Rett syndrome is a rare developmental disorder, most often due to a mutation in the MECP2 gene on the X chromosome, but it’s not usually inherited. Advances in genetics have launched a new era in ...

Genetic testing identifies germline mutations, while genomic testing analyzes somatic mutations in tumors, influencing treatment options. Broader testing criteria are expanding access to genetic ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...

Scientists have now discovered why a mutation in a gene called TET2 is often implicated in disorders including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, inflammatory diseases, and certain types of cancer. This ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

The Wellcome Trust Sanger Institute is combining the power of COSMIC, its large-scale cancer genetics database, with ProteinPaint data mining and visualization system at St. Jude Children’s Research ...

A single microscopic change in our DNA can permanently alter how the brain is built, locking in developmental problems that ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

The analysis revealed that about 2 per cent of sperm from men in their early 30s contained disease-causing mutations. That ...
