Genetic testing can confirm a muscular dystrophy (MD) diagnosis when symptoms and other tests already suggest MD. It also identifies specific gene mutations that can guide targeted treatment. Genetic ...

Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are ...

Missing genes and sequencing read registration in single-cell RNA-seq experiments. Credit: Nature Methods (2023). DOI: 10.1038/s41592-023-02003-w In 2018, researchers in the Caltech laboratory of Yuki ...

Whether you turn red when drinking alcohol, dislike certain smells, or metabolize drugs differently from others, the explanation often lies in your DNA, or more precisely, your gene types. People ...

Our body controls the levels of sugar in our blood with a hormone called insulin, which is made by beta cells in the pancreas. In type 1 diabetes, the immune system erroneously attacks those beta ...

With the incidence of type 2 diabetes increasing alarmingly, science is looking to genetics to better understand the processes underlying this chronic illness. A new study has isolated a gene not ...

Researchers have identified a potential treatment target for a genetic type of epilepsy. Researchers at the Francis Crick Institute, UCL and MSD have identified a potential treatment target for a ...

Despite incredible advances in genomics, the NGS data interpretation workflow for hereditary diseases remains challenging. The field is rapidly evolving, and novel findings are uncovered daily, ...
