Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Researchers from the Psychiatric Genomics Consortium (PGC) report that most genetic influences on mental illness are shared across diagnostic categories, revealing a more interconnected biological ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...

Investigations suggest V2P may be efficiently applied for the automated identification of causal variants in simulated and actual patient sequencing data across phenotypes.

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Over the past decades, large-scale human genetic studies have identified numerous risk genes and variants associated with complex diseases and traits.

Genetic testing for chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) can tell doctors if someone has leukemia, what type they may have, and whether treatment is working. The tests look for atypical changes in certain ...

A newly developed AI can predict which diseases specific genetic mutations are likely to cause, not just whether they are ...

Asperger’s, now referred to as autism spectrum disorder (ASD), involves a complex interplay of genetic and environmental factors. Asperger’s was once considered a distinct condition but is no longer ...

A new study has provided new insights into the the genetic overlap among some psychiatric disorders, and can help explain why ...
