Researchers at Tufts University revealed a possible molecular mechanism explaining how the DNA repeats are broken and then expanded in the Huntington’s disease gene, pointing to a component of the ...

The pair had helped identify a still-unnamed disease, which they had tied to a particular gene and to a particular somatic mutation—a genetic change that had not been passed down from a parent and was ...

Study explains long-standing question of why Huntington’s disease symptoms typically do not appear until midlife even though ...

There is evidence that Crohn’s disease is genetic, though environmental factors may also be involved. Crohn’s disease is a type of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) that causes inflammation in ...
