A genetic mutation of the H5N1 bird flu virus — a mutation associated with increased infectiousness and disease severity — ...

A new H5N1 bird flu mutation has appeared in a cluster of infected dairy cows. It's a genetic change that scientists say ...

POLG-related diseases disrupt the function of the mitochondria, or "powerhouses" of the cell — starving them of energy.

Early research shows a one-time gene therapy has potential for addressing both the liver and lung disease that patients with ...

Genetic testing helps identify hereditary cancer risks, with 5-10% of cancers caused by inherited mutations. Early detection ...

The small study in patients with a rare disorder that causes liver and lung damage showed the potential for precisely ...

Gene mutations in acute myeloid leukemia (AML) cells can guide treatment options, and machine learning can rapidly guess the ...

But in about 5% to 10% of cases, the cause is hereditary. This means that the cancer is due to a gene change, called a “mutation,” that’s passed down from a parent. Researchers have ...

Now, scientists have revealed that a newly discovered 'fat gene' could be to blame. Experts from the University of Cambridge say that a mutation to a gene called DENND1B reduces the ability ...

PolG disease is a genetic disease caused by mutations that occur in the POLG gene in the mitochondria of a person's cell, ...

You may scarcely notice it, but much of what you do every day requires your brain to engage in perceptual learning. To safely ...

Neurons collected from brain lesions in MS patients were found to accumulate new genetic mutations faster than healthy nerve ...
