Could one genetic mutation be sufficient to bring on complex psychopathology? For decades, dominant models of mental illness-especially schizophrenia-have focused on polygenic origins, with thousands ...

Rare telomere and non-telomere genetic variants significantly affect survival in IPF patients, with non-additive effects on common risk variants. Polygenic risk scores (PRS-IPF) may play a crucial ...

New research has found that men who carry a common genetic variant are twice as likely to develop dementia in their lifetime compared to women. New research has found that men who carry a common ...

A study led by the Research Institute of the McGill University Health Center (The Institute) has identified a rare genetic variant in the ODAD4 gene that causes primary ciliary dyskinesia (PCD), a ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- A new study from MIT neuroscientists reveals how rare variants of a gene called ABCA7 may contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s in some of the people who carry it.

A novel genetic variant may be a driving force behind the development of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in some cases, according to researchers at the Mayo Clinic in ...

Found in the Finnish population, a rare variant of the TYROBP gene significantly increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease, a new study led by the University of Eastern Finland shows. This gene ...

The suspected causes of Alzheimer's disease are diverse, and its cures are, today, nonexistent. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. What's all but certain is that many ...

Reason for concern, but not unnecessary alarm, researchers say. The first real-world study pitting COVID-19 variants against the Pfizer vaccine showed that the variant first detected in South Africa ...
