No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...

DNA doesn’t just sit still inside our cells — it folds, loops, and rearranges in ways that shape how genes behave. Researchers have now mapped this hidden architecture in unprecedented detail, showing ...

Experimental gene therapies like AMT‑130 lower toxic huntingtin protein and significantly slow Huntington’s disease, offering ...

A Northwestern Medicine-led study published in the Journal of Clinical Investigation has uncovered why older individuals with ...

A new single-cell profiling technique has mapped pre-malignant gene mutations and their effects in solid tissues for the ...

Circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA), small pieces of DNA released from dying tumor cells into the bloodstream, can be easily and non-invasively identified and examined through a simple blood test. This ...

A new study shows that cancer damages its own DNA by pushing key genes to work too hard. Researchers found that the most ...

After years of studying genes that increase risk for Alzheimer’s disease, scientists report the promising discovery of DNA that does the opposite: the first gene variant that protects people against ...

An affordable new BRCA gene test has hit the market, but who should take it? — -- A new genetic testing kit that hits the market today is the most affordable, and arguably one of the simplest, ...
