Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is a fatal neurodegenerative disorder that is thought to have a significant link to ...

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...

Researchers have released TripletDGC, a publicly available resource that links nearly 10,000 disease-associated genes to the specific cell types they most strongly affect, filling a critical gap in ...

Project MinE, an international consortium co-founded by researchers at King's College London, has identified new genetic ...

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health challenge that affects more than 800 million people worldwide. 1 CKD can be caused by a variety of disease processes. Many causes are difficult to ...

Although schwannomatosis is a genetic condition, the inheritance patterns for this disorder are complex and much less clear than for both NF1 and NF2. Some cases of schwannomatosis are familial, with ...

Differences in socioeconomic status (SES) are known to be linked to differences in the risk of developing disease. While people with lower SES are more likely to develop complex diseases such as ...

A single exposure to a toxic fungicide during pregnancy can increase the risk of disease for 20 subsequent generations—with inherited health problems worsening many generations after exposure. Those ...

Computational biologists from the National University of Singapore (NUS) have uncovered how RNA splicing – a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity - is regulated across ...
