Mutations in the tumor suppressor TP53 are a common cause of cancer, making the altered protein an attractive target for ...
Genetic disorders — like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease — are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one ...
Deafness, the most common sensorineural hearing loss at all stages of life, occurs either independently or as part of ...
It's not just the number of mutations that matters. It's the failure to fix them too. The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more ...
A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...
The male reproductive system serves as a hotspot for the emergence of new genes. Perhaps that explains why more new mutations are inherited from fathers than from mothers. It doesn't, however, clarify ...
Mitochondrial diseases affect approximately 1 in 5,000 people worldwide, causing debilitating symptoms ranging from muscle weakness to stroke-like episodes. Some of these conditions result from ...
