However, most DNA mutations do not alter a protein, they only alter it slightly so its appearance or function is not changed. There are many different types of mutations which can arise in DNA.

AIP (Aryl Hydrocarbon Receptor Interacting Protein) is the name of the gene which causes pituitary adenomas in some families with acromegaly and occasionally prolactinomas, and very rarely with other ...

Glycogen storage disease type 1a (von Gierke disease, GSD1a), one of the most common types of ... the human G6Pase gene by Lei et al. [4] enabled the characterization of the mutations causing ...

The goal of genome editing technology is to develop strategies for the correction of those mutations that are responsible of ...

This allows the duplicated gene to accumulate further mutations without this selection pressure. Numerous mutations over time can give rise to related genes but with a new specialised function.

A new study has revealed that Beagle dogs carrying mutations in the Shank3 gene—a high-risk gene for autism spectrum disorder ...
