Every year, thousands of students come to Houston to compete in the world's largest livestock show, and a lot of them are ...

But in about 5% to 10% of cases, the cause is hereditary. This means that the cancer is due to a gene change, called a “mutation,” that’s passed down from a parent. Researchers have ...

Recent research shows the bird flu virus may be just a few mutations away from transmitting more readily to humans, which could elevate risk. If you haven’t yet been sick this winter ...

Having two copies of the MTHFR gene mutation may raise your risk for certain health conditions, though more research is needed. You may have the mutation and not find out unless you undergo ...

It can cause symptoms such as breathing problems and hoarseness. Therapy that targets the mutation, such as EGFR inhibitors, may help. “EGFR” stands for “epidermal growth factor receptor.” ...

These findings set the stage for the current studies, which provide the first molecular pictures of KBTBD4 targeting the CoREST complex through interactions induced by both cancer mutations and a ...

In children with achondroplasia in real-world settings, vosoritide treatment over 12 months demonstrated a positive benefit-risk profile consistent with data from clinical trials, according to a study ...

This process isn't perfect, and errors can occur that affect genes within the chromosomes. Mutations in many different genes can be found in AML cells, but larger changes in one or more chromosomes ...

Achondroplasia is due to a new genetic mutation in about 80% of affected individuals while about 20% can inherit it from their mother or father if they are affected. It affects 250,000 people ...

Merck & Co.’s Covid-19 pill is giving rise to new mutations of the virus in some patients, according to a study that underscores the risk of trying to intentionally alter the pathogen’s genetic code.

Background: Germline mutations in signal transducer and activator of transcription 1 (STAT1), which lead to primary immunodeficiency, are classified as defects in intrinsic and innate immunity. To ...
