In many aspects of our lives, we find meaning in the order in which events occur. We buy into myths about "middle child syndrome," talk of calm before storms, and consider it strange to start a meal ...

Investigators have unveiled for the first time that changes in certain genes affect an aggressive cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), differently depending on genetic ancestry. The ...

Individuals that share the same deletion of a portion of chromosome 16 are at risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Precision medicine in GU cancers is evolving with biomarkers like BRCA1/2 mutations influencing PARP inhibitor use and pembrolizumab's tumor-agnostic approval for microsatellite instability. FGFR3 ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type ...

Tobacco smoking is linked to specific genetic mutations in MDS, affecting chromatin modification and RNA splicing pathways. A dose-response relationship exists, with higher smoking intensity ...
