A new Nature study suggests DNA mutations in immune cells may drive autoimmune diseases by removing immune system brakes, ...

A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...

An international group have discovered associations between pathogenic variants of the BRCA 1 and 2 genes and four types of ...

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes ...

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes on the immune system. It reveals a previously hidden role for somatic ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...

A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically significant increase in a specific type of DNA mutation in the offspring of ...

What Is the MTHFR Gene Mutation? The MTHFR gene mutation is a variation in the MTHFR gene. This gene normally tells your body how to make the MTHFR protein. You need this protein to process folate, ...

It’s well established that some cases of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) are caused by mutations that are inherited from a person’s parents — but a new study shows some cases of sporadic ALS may ...
