The DNA damage from ionizing radiation (IR) erupting from the Chernobyl nuclear disaster of 1986 is showing up in the children of those originally exposed, researchers have found – the first time such ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

The Norton & Elaine Sarnoff Center for Jewish Genetics is a supporting foundation of JUF, and is supported in part by the Michael Reese Health Trust.

Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy is independently associated with an increased risk of CLL, suggesting potential as a novel biomarker for early risk identification.

BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations increase the risk of hereditary breast cancer. Here's what you should know about the causes, ...

Australian researchers have discovered that a single mutation in the DNA sequence for a methylation enzyme dysregulates key tumor-suppressing pathways, opening up new avenues for blood cancer ...

Being invited to present research at an international academic conference is an honor for any seasoned professional. But for ...

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

Proteins are like Spider-Man in the multiverse. The underlying story is the same: each building block of a protein is based on a three-letter DNA code. However, change one letter, and the same protein ...

In a recent study published in Genome Biology, researchers investigate the impact of a novel loss-of-function mutation in the oxidation resistance 1 (OXR1) gene on cellular functions, neurodevelopment ...

It also allowed the team to diagnose the younger of the pair with acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type (AMDM), a rare genetic disorder affecting the growth of bones. This is the earliest evidence ...

Sickle cell diseases arises from hemoglobin protein mutations. The mutation causes red blood cells to form a sickle shape rather than a round one. One study suggests that this mutation could be ...
