Certain common genetic changes might make some people with focal epilepsy less responsive to seizure medications, finds a new global study led by researchers at UCL and UTHealth Houston. Focal ...

Genetic data from 139,416 human embryos were used to characterize chromosomal abnormalities, called aneuploidies, that underlie many cases of pregnancy loss. This approach revealed a relationship ...

Using patient-derived cardiac tissue and stem cell-based models, the team of translational researchers demonstrated that targeting the genetic cause of disease improved cellular abnormalities and ...

Extreme values for cholesterol, glucose, and height are driven by rare, high-impact genetic variants rather than polygenic ...

Many human diseases have a genetic component to them. There are over 6,000 genetic disorders, many of which are fatal or severely debilitating. A genetic disease is caused by a mutation in DNA and can ...
