Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

Eli Lilly is continuing a run of dealmaking to strengthen its genetic medicine offering by penning a pact with gene editing company Seamless Therapeutics. This morning’s deal with Seamless centers on ...

Psychiatric disorders can share common genetic influences, which means parts of DNA can be at the root of more than one mental condition, new research has found. The study, led by researchers at Texas ...

For decades, scientists have theorized that two genetic defects have the potential to essentially “cancel each other out,” restoring normal protein function in the process. A new study confirms this ...

Alzheimer’s may be driven far more by genetics than previously thought, with one gene playing an outsized role. Researchers found that up to nine in ten cases could be linked to the APOE gene — even ...

The vast dataset allowed the Johns Hopkins University-led team to demonstrate robust connections between specific variations in a mother's DNA and their risk of miscarriage. The findings shed new ...

Mendel’s monastery garden experiments went largely unnoticed during his life, but their implications would ripple through science decades later. Gregor Mendel, Austrian botanist and founder of ...

A sweeping new study of psychiatric and genetic records has the potential to change treatment for millions of psychiatric patients, finding that many conditions involve similar genes and may not need ...

In a study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS), scientists at Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that ...
