Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of ...

It took a while for the science to basically catch up to that suspicion.” In these types of “recessive” conditions, the ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumour growth.

While it is well-known that age, smoking, oral bacteria and genetic mutations can individually cause stomach cancer, a recent ...

A study conducted by researchers at Baylor College of Medicine and collaborating institutions reveals the molecular events leading to osteogenesis imperfecta type V, a form of brittle bone disease ...

Mapping diverse mutations within a cancer hotspot revealed that distinct variants drive tumor growth to different extents, which could guide anticancer therapies.

Hormones can have a significant impact on the body, and many of them are produced and released from the pituitary gland. In a condition called hypopituitarism, there is a problem with the production ...
