The TP53 gene is a gene that is mutated in many cancers. It is the most common gene mutation found in cancer cells. A tumor-suppressor gene, TP53 codes for a protein that inhibits the development and ...

Patients were previously met with fragmented care, limited access to genetic testing and a lack of integrated counselling, OGS clinical director Beau Fenner said. The care was also focused on ...

Polygenic scores (PGS) are metrics used to estimate the genetic predisposition of people to developing specific mental health conditions, personality traits or diseases. In recent years ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A study ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington’s disease is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene in which a three-letter DNA sequence, C-A-G, is repeated at least 40 ...

Whole genome sequencing, which is also being used widely to improve treatments of difficult-to-diagnose diseases as well as for genetic screening of newborns, has given hope to patients with ...

Chinese scientist He Jiankui used CRISPR-Cas9 to edit the CCR5 gene in embryos, allegedly to make the twins resistant to HIV. The experiment was widely condemned for its lack of transparency, ethical ...

Scientists have found 697 genetic variants – or small changes within a gene – linked to depression, of which almost 300 were previously unknown. A Queensland scientist described the project as ...

Genetic algorithms are unique ways to solve complex problems by harnessing the power of nature. By applying these methods to predicting security prices, traders can optimize trading rules by ...

In this case–control study, we assessed the relationship of 51 SNPs in 35 genes related to inflammatory response with the risk of ischemic stroke in 1,124 cases and 1,163 controls. In the ...
