In many aspects of our lives, we find meaning in the order in which events occur. We buy into myths about "middle child syndrome," talk of calm before storms, and consider it strange to start a meal ...

Researchers at the University of British Columbia (UBC), BC Cancer, Harvard Medical School and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSK) have pinpointed what could be the early genetic origins of ...

Investigators have unveiled for the first time that changes in certain genes affect an aggressive cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), differently depending on genetic ancestry. The ...

Mutations in the MAGEL2 gene, which cause Schaaf-Yan syndrome (SYS) —an ultra-rare disease that affects neuronal and cognitive development— generate truncated, non-functional proteins that tend to ...

Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including ...

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 ...

Marek’s disease can be pervasive in chicken houses. Chickens infected by this highly contagious viral disease often develop tumors, become paralyzed and die. They can shed the virus through their skin ...

Environmental factors such as lifestyle and the medications you take influence the effects your genes have on your body — and can clarify how diseases develop. When you purchase through links on our ...
