A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...

A common recessive NDD caused by RNU2-2 mutations disrupts brain development and opens paths for diagnosis and therapy.

The researchers noted that most genomic analyses have traditionally focused on commonly mutated genes, which can pinpoint mutations occurring most frequently but does not account for the extent to ...

Afatinib almost doubled progression-free survival versus chemotherapy in advanced lung cancer with uncommon EGFR mutations. The treatment effect was consistent across major uncommon mutations, ...

A common mutation in the KRAS gene is associated with improved overall survival in pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) compared with other variants, in part because the mutation appears to lead to ...

Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a common genetic disorders that has been well studied. Researchers have identified CF-causing mutations in a gene called CFTR, which encodes for an ion channel. The genetic ...

Repeat expansion disorders, which are responsible for more than 40 neurological diseases, may be more common than clinical data would suggest. Epidemiological studies had estimated that REDs affect ...
