Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type ...

A gene known as CTNNB1 encodes for a crucial protein called B-catenin, which has an important role in controlling tissue ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...
