When two defective gene variants combine, normal protein function can sometimes be restored.
No gene acts alone: interacting variants and protein partnerships can worsen, mask or even rescue disease risk, demanding ...
Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and the University of Copenhagen analyzed over 139,000 embryos and identified variants in key meiosis genes, such as SMC1B, that influence chromosomal ...
Results showed that super agers were 68% less likely to have the destructive APOE-ε4 gene, compared to people with Alzheimer’s in the same age range. They also were 19% less likely to have APOE-ε4 ...
Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...
The new molecules selectively reduced inflammatory signaling in human immune cells without affecting other immune pathways. Treatment with the molecules also reduced inflammation in mice with the ...
People who stay mentally sharp into their 80s may owe their edge to rare gene variants that lower Alzheimer’s risk and boost ...
With a tank of zebrafish, Queensland researcher Jean Giacomotto was able to test a never-before seen genetic variant ...
A new study reveals that super agers over 80 have a distinct genetic edge. They are much less likely to carry the gene most ...
The AHA recommended whole exome or whole genome sequencing as first-line diagnostic tools for mitochondrial diseases.
The gene variant posing the greatest genetic risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is called APOE-ε4. A different ...
A gene that is important for human hearing could determine whether a dog’s ears are pendulous like a basset hound’s or stubby ...
