An international research team reveals new molecular mechanisms associated with pathogenic mutations in the protein ...

Forward genetic studies use meiotic mapping to adduce evidence that a particular mutation, normally induced by a germline mutagen, is causative of a particular phenotype. Particularly in small ...

What if doctors could look at a person’s DNA and not only spot a harmful mutation, but also predict the kind of disease it may cause—before symptoms fully appear? Scientists at the Icahn School of ...

(Figure 1) Experiments involving cells from different organs of humans and mice exposed to varying radiation doses revealed mutation patterns correlating with exposure levels. (Figure 2) Exposure to 1 ...

The first systematic whole genome sequencing study of how chemotherapy damages healthy tissues has shown that many, but not all, of these agents cause mutations and premature aging of normal blood ...

A new study suggests that mutations in regions of the genome that help control gene activity may influence the development of autism. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...
