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 ...

Scientists have discovered a genetic process which could unlock new ways to treat mysterious and deadly fungal infection which has shut down multiple hospital intensive care units. Candida auris is ...

Alternative splicing (AS) is a genetic process that increases the diversity of proteins that can be generated from genes, by assembling sections of genetic code into different combinations. This is ...

A globe-spanning scientific team has compiled the most comprehensive list of genetic variants associated with prostate cancer risk—451 in all—through a whole-genome analysis that ranks as the largest ...

Hair genetics can come from either parent, and multiple genes can determine hair traits, such as color, texture, and growth. Genes can also affect hair loss. Although it can run in families, this is ...

When the Human Genome Project concluded 21 years ago, it opened the door for genetic testing and a promise for lifesaving screenings and personalized medicine. An innovation that serves as a key ...

Australian musician Emma Sheppard has spoken of her decision to undergo IVF so she could genetically test her embryos for early-onset dementia, after multiple members of her husband’s family were ...
