Sometimes, in genetics, two wrongs do make a right. A research team has recently shown that two harmful genetic variants, ...

The gene variant posing the greatest genetic risk of late-onset Alzheimer's disease (AD) is called APOE -ε4. A different variant of the same gene, APOE -ε2, is thought to confer protection against AD.

A new study reveals that super agers over 80 have a distinct genetic edge. They are much less likely to carry the gene most ...

Research co-led by King's College London and Sidra Medicine, Qatar, has produced the most detailed map to date of large-scale ...

Genetic risk models, including PREMMplus and BOADICEA/CanRisk, refine breast cancer risk assessment by incorporating genetic status and polygenic risk scores. Challenges in classifying gene variants, ...

Genetic variation is the foundation of human diversity, enabling differences in traits such as height, eye color, or blood type. Some sequence variants also cause inherited diseases, including sickle ...
