A study in the journal Pharmaceuticals has uncovered how specific genetic mutations in α2δ-1 and α2δ-3 proteins linked to autism spectrum disorders (ASD) alter neuronal functionality.

Isolated renal glucosuria (RG) is a rare genetic disorder marked by glucosuria without any other tubular abnormalities. It is characterized by the presence of glucose in urine with normal blood ...

Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths globally, with cigarette smoking as its primary driver. Chemical carcinogens like polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) in tobacco ...

People with Li-Fraumeni syndrome often develop cancer as children or young adults, and the germline mutation is associated with a high lifetime risk of cancers, such as breast cancer, bone cancer, ...

Two main theories have dominated the discussion around aging. The somatic mutation theory attributes aging to the accumulation of permanent changes in the DNA sequence, which arise randomly over time.

The somatic mutation theory suggests that aging is caused by the accumulation of mutations, permanent changes in our DNA sequence that occur randomly. The epigenetic clock theory suggests that ...

Scientists had suspected since the discovery of DNA’s structure in the 1950s that genetic misspellings and other mutations accruing in non-reproductive, or somatic, tissues could help explain ...

Blood does more than just carry oxygen and nutrients. Its many “markers,” known as antigens, can trigger unexpected responses. Most folks have heard about the blood groups A, B, and O, and the Rh ...

The screening programme looks for mutations in the BRCA genes which push up a person’s risk of cancer. Everyone has BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes, but people who have changes in the gene are at higher ...
