Retinitis pigmentosa (RP) is an eye condition that can be genetic. In this way, people usually need to inherit two copies of a genetic variation that causes RP, one coming from each parent. RP may ...

"Our study showed that the search for recessive effects in genome-wide association studies can be worthwhile, especially if somewhat rarer genetic variants are included, as is the case in the FinnGen ...

Based on the inheritance pattern, EDS can be classified as autosomal dominant, autosomal recessive, and autosomal dominant or recessive. In each of these types, a set of major and minor criteria is ...

In a previous trial involving patients with early autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD; estimated creatinine clearance, ≥60 ml per minute), the vasopressin V 2-receptor antagonist ...

Von Willebrand disease (VWD) is a bleeding disorder in which the blood does not clot as it should. Usually, people have VWD due to their genes, which may come from a male or female parent. Blood ...
