Scientists have identified a genetic mutation which may be the key to stopping people from craving sugary treats. The ...

The familial trend, it turned out, was linked to a genetic mutation. That meant Bill might also be at risk for the disease.

University of Wisconsin–Madison researchers targeting a group of hereditary neurodegenerative diseases have found success ...

Mitochondrial genome mutations may be linked to ALS, per a study, opening the door for new ways to diagnosing and treating ...

Paxton Purdy's parents said he has an ultra-rare neurodegenerative genetic mutation. They hope they can raise enough money to ...

Researchers at ETH Zurich combined two CRISPR-Cas methods to decipher how mutations in a cell’s genome affect its function.

Under this two-hit model, Brugge says, one normal copy of BRCA1 ought to be able to carry out DNA repair even when the other ...

Researchers have combined two gene editing methods. This enables them to quickly investigate the significance of many genetic mutations involved in the development and treatment of cancer.

A new study in mice explains how even a single faulty copy of the BRCA1 gene can fuel tumor growth. The findings suggest the dominant “two-hit” hypothesis of cancer development may not tell the full ...

A new study led by Yale geneticists provides a long-needed tool to determine which mutations in the mitochondrial genome ...
