Almost 1,500 genes have been implicated in intellectual disabilities; yet for most people with such disabilities, genetic causes remain unknown. Perhaps this is in part because geneticists have been ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies—in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked ...

Not all parts of our genetic code are equal, even when they appear to say the same thing. Scientists have discovered that ...

Scientists have uncovered new genetic causes of diabetes in infants, pointing to a region of the genome that has long been ...

When AlphaFold solved the protein-folding problem in 2020, it showed that artificial intelligence could crack one of biology’s deepest mysteries: how a string of amino acids folds itself into a ...

Non-coding DNA variants contribute to acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) chemotherapy resistance. St. Jude Children's Research Hospital scientists have identified specific DNA variants in the ...

Investigators led by Northwestern Medicine scientists have identified mutations in a gene coding for a key ion channel in the ...

There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...
