Precision medicine in GU cancers is evolving with biomarkers like BRCA1/2 mutations influencing PARP inhibitor use and pembrolizumab's tumor-agnostic approval for microsatellite instability. FGFR3 ...

Genetic testing identifies germline mutations, while genomic testing analyzes somatic mutations in tumors, influencing treatment options. Broader testing criteria are expanding access to genetic ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Scientists have now discovered why a mutation in a gene called TET2 is often implicated in disorders including diabetes, heart disease, stroke, inflammatory diseases, and certain types of cancer. This ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...

Everyday DNA mutations can help us understand immune function and aging—and even mitigate harm caused by some inherited ...

Individuals that share the same deletion of a portion of chromosome 16 are at risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

MODY is a rare form of monogenic diabetes, which refers to diabetes caused by a mutation in a single gene. MODY typically develops before the age of 25 and is often misdiagnosed as either type 1 ...

UAB genetic counseling students partnered with Lister Hill Library to bring an interactive H.E.A.L.T.H. Lab to Alabaster, ...

How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...
