A single sperm donor who carries a rare cancer-causing genetic mutation has fathered at least 197 children across 14 countries in Europe, according to a collaborative investigation by 14 European news ...

A team of researchers from the Germans Trias i Pujol Research Institute (IGTP) and Institut Català d'Oncologia (ICO) has studied alterations in the KRAS gene in colorectal cancer by combining genomic ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

Tatiana Schlossberg, the youngest granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, recently revealed she was diagnosed with terminal acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to a rare genetic anomaly. In a ...

The integration of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR) therapies with precision medicine holds potential to impact the treatment landscape for acute myeloid leukemia (AML). Genetic mutations play a role ...

The gene p53 acts as a tumor suppressor and often is called the ‘guardian of the genome.’ This gene is central to maintaining genomic stability, which prevents mutations from accumulating and leading ...

Human semen not only accumulates genetic mutations with age; as the percentage of sperm carrying potentially serious mutations increases, so does the risk of developing diseases in offspring. This is ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) results from changes in the DMD gene. Children may inherit DMD gene changes from their parents or have spontaneous gene changes. The DMD gene tells the body how to ...

A study published in Nature Ecology & Evolution reveals a surprising evolutionary insight: sometimes, losing genes rather than gaining them can help bacterial pathogen survive and thrive. The study ...

Selling the crops you've grown in your garden is, perhaps unsurprisingly, one of the core activities in Grow a Garden, the Roblox experience that's arguably the biggest game on the planet as of Summer ...
