| Alcohol use disorder is a complex trait, both in its causes and characteristics. Individuals' sensitivity to alcohol can predict their risk of adverse alcohol outcomes like AUD. Further, AUD runs in families, reflecting in part a genetic component. | |

| Nearly half of all patients with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), a fatal neuromuscular disorder, develop cognitive problems that affect memory and thinking. | |

| "There is a paradox at play when it comes to atrial fibrillation in the Latino population," said Dr. Dawood Darbar. | |

| Cleidocranial Dysplasia is a genetically inherited medical condition. It is also known as Cleidocranial Dysostosis and Marie- Sainton Disease. Another name for the condition is Osteodental Dysplasia. It is a rare disorder which affects the skeletal system. The development of the bones and the teeth are affected, although the degree to which they are affected is markedly different in each patie | |

| The powerful gene-editing tool, CRISPR, has revolutionized research by allowing scientists to snip and patch DNA with remarkable precision. But tracking the impact of these changes on gene function can be time-consuming. Researchers currently analyze each edit one at a time, a process that can take weeks. | |
|
| Using human brain cells, scientists at the Gladstone Institutes discovered the cause of--and a potential solution for--the primary genetic risk factor for Alzheimer's disease, a gene called apoE4. | |
|
| An international research consortium used neuroimaging techniques to analyze the brains of more than 3,800 volunteers in different countries. The largest study of its kind ever conducted set out to investigate anatomical similarities and differences in the brains of individuals with different types of epilepsy and to seek markers that could help with prognosis and treatment. | |
|
| At the heart of any cancer diagnosis or treatment are cells. If one thinks of the cell components controlling gene activation as a Russian nesting-doll of gene regulatory layers, within those increasingly smaller tiers are short pieces of non-coding DNA called enhancers. | |
|
| University of North Carolina Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center researchers are reporting the concluding findings from a major analysis of nearly 10,000 different tumor samples that focused on identifying similarities between cancers based on changes in their genes, and the way their genes are expressed. | |
|
| There are many factors that determine your likelihood of developing cancer, including age, genetic predisposition and lifestyle. | |
|
| Lorena Martin's twin daughters kick butt on the soccer field. Martin is proud of how they hold their own, despite having a rare genetic disease called Charcot-Marie-Tooth (CMT), which has damaged their peripheral nervous system. The girls lack proper control of their hands and feet because their nerves can't send signals properly, so they play using power wheelchairs. | |
|
| A large amount of information has been gathered by researchers from University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center who were studying the molecular features of tumors and their subtypes. They were working on breast and four types of gynaecological cancers. | |
|
| Researchers from the School of Medicine in Ribeirão Preto, at the University of São Paulo, in collaboration with international groups, have developed indices that provide information about the prognosis of cancers, aid in the choice of the most appropriate therapy to be used and identify potential targets for the development of new drugs. | |
|
| Around 600 children under the age of 15 are diagnosed with leukemia each year in Germany. The effects are especially dramatic if this severe illness develops at birth or shortly afterwards. | |
|
| Discovery by Scripps Research scientists may offer insight into treating blood disorders such as sickle cell anemia. | |
|
| Researchers have developed a synthetic compound that mimics the surface of DNA and is able to inhibit several DNA-processing enzymes. | |
|
| Insilico Medicine, a Baltimore-based next-generation artificial intelligence company specializing in the application of deep learning for drug discovery, biomarker development and aging research, is pleased to announce the presentation of its Director of Drug Discovery, Dr. Ivan Ozerov, at the 24th Clinical Applications for Age Management Medicine Conference, April 27, 2018, organized by Age Management Medicine Group. | |
|
| Researchers have created patient-specific bladder cancer organoids that imitate many of the features of real tumors and may therefore be used to study how cancer evolves. | |
|
| New research coordinated by Karolinska Institutet in Sweden links certain DNA variants to increased risk of irritable bowel syndrome in women. The findings, published in the scientific journal Gastroenterology, might help explain why IBS is more common in women than in men. | |
|
| DNA loop extrusion is a method used to analyze how DNA is compacted into the nucleus whilst bringing regulatory elements close to protein coding genes. | |
