Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism ...

A major evolutionary theory says most genetic changes don’t really matter, but new evidence suggests that’s not true. Researchers found that helpful mutations happen surprisingly often. The twist is ...

The analysis revealed that about 2 per cent of sperm from men in their early 30s contained disease-causing mutations. That ...

Around 200 children in several countries were conceived with sperm from a single donor who unknowingly carried a rare genetic ...

For many Asian Americans, a single cocktail can cause their faces to turn red. Known as the “Asian glow,” the condition can ...

Tanning bed users are known to have a higher risk of skin cancer, but for the first time researchers have found that young ...

At 47, Todd Leach learned he carries a genetic mutation that significantly raised his risk for a rare stomach cancer. He had ...

The new analysis study showed the delay may stem from genetic mutations that are present when a child is born – but activate ...

Some fungi live up to 2,500 years thanks to an internal system that eliminates harmful cells and prevents genetic mutations.

During development of the digestive system, a complex network of nerves forms around it, creating a "second brain"—the enteric nervous system (ENS)—which controls the movement of food and waste ...

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

Mount Sinai scientists developed V2P, a powerful new AI tool that predicts how specific DNA mutations translate into disease, unlocking faster diagnoses and new targets for therapy.
