A large global genetics study shows that many key drivers of Type 2 diabetes operate outside the bloodstream. Scientists are ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Numerous genetic studies have identified many risk variants for type 2 diabetes (T2D)—but which genes and proteins are ...

A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with identifiable symptom clusters and lifetime trajectories. Researchers then linked each group to specific biological ...

Despite major advances in genetic testing for breast cancer risk prediction, death rates remain disproportionately high among ...
