On average, the researchers found 2.65 cDNMs per child in the Chernobyl group, 1.48 per child in the German radar group, and ...

It took a while for the science to basically catch up to that suspicion.” In these types of “recessive” conditions, the ...

The DNA of Chernobyl cleanup workers showed mutations caused by radiation that were also evident in the genes of their ...

DNA has to be interpreted by cells. The letters or bases that make up genetic sequences are read in sets of three, and those three-base sequences are known as codons. Every codon encodes for one amino ...

Cancer cells carry thousands of mutations, but not all mutations are created equal. Some make tumors highly visible to the ...

A rare but serious clotting disorder linked to certain COVID-19 vaccines and natural adenovirus infections has puzzled scientists for years.

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

Although the genetic cause of many diseases have been identified, it’s estimated that as many as 70% of patients with a rare disorder do not know what causes their disease. Millions of people live ...

Some genetic mutations that are expected to completely stop a gene from working surprisingly cause only mild or even no symptoms. Researchers in previous studies have discovered one reason why: cells ...

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...
