Blood type is a small detail that feels almost administrative—something for blood drives and hospital forms—yet it sits at ...

A large global genetics study shows that many key drivers of Type 2 diabetes operate outside the bloodstream. Scientists are ...

Analyzing genetic data from 2.5 million people, researchers identified 676 genes and dozens of proteins linked to Type 2 diabetes across seven tissues. Most signals were absent in blood, highlighting ...

Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are ...

An international study co-led by researchers from the University of Massachusetts Amherst and Helmholtz Munich in Germany has ...

Medical professionals in China’s Jiangsu province have uncovered the genetic sequence behind a rare case of type P blood group – even rarer than the subtypes such as “dinosaur blood” or “panda blood.” ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...

Human blood already comes in a bewildering variety of types, but researchers have now identified a new one so rare that only three people on the planet are known to carry it. The finding exposes just ...

In 2011, a woman from the French overseas region of Guadeloupe underwent routine tests before a surgery. Strikingly, doctors could not identify her blood group, which was so unique that they did not ...

A global genetics study of over 2.5 million people shows Type 2 diabetes is driven by tissue-specific biological processes ...
