Advances in human genetics have enabled the investigation of the genetic architecture underlying numerous complex traits. Many publicly available databases establish a binary relationship between ...

Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with identifiable symptom clusters and lifetime trajectories. Researchers then linked each group to specific biological ...

When Nick Lumi found out St. Luke’s University Health Network was offering free DNA testing, he thought it was a novelty, a chance to find out more about his ancestry. Instead, he learned he had a ...

Researchers say deafness can affect children's brain development. Children with hereditary deafness regained their hearing thanks to a type of gene therapy, a new study published on Wednesday found.

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...
