KRAS is the most frequently mutated oncogene across all human cancers. Although different KRAS mutations have long been thought to exert the same cancer-driving effects, a new study led by UT ...

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

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 ...

A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically ...

The story of Chernobyl has long carried a chilling epilogue: that the people who rushed in to contain the disaster doomed not only themselves, but their children, to hidden genetic damage. The ...

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 ...
