An HIV-derived nucleoside therapy now treats rare genetic diseases by restoring mitochondrial DNA and improving muscle ...

A newly identified and rare genetic variant slows the growth of mutated blood stem cells and reduces the risk of leukemia.

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

Researchers identified a rare genetic variant that weakens MSI2 activity in blood stem cells, slowing clonal hematopoiesis ...

Traditional biochemical methods of studying human gene mutations are often laborious and costly. Now bioengineers at the University of California San Diego have developed a new simple approach to ...

A genetic mutation passed from mother to children in families affected by schizophrenia has now been shown to completely ...

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...

A man sits outside and holds a slim menthol cigarette between his fingers. Close-up with focus on the cigarette. The study provided a comprehensive examination of how lifestyle and environmental ...

A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with the same mutation, a rare finding of a direct genetic link to psychosis, ...

Now, researchers have identified one of these mutations, named SIK3-N783Y, in a human super-sleeper. The team then studied the mutation in genetically modified mice and found that the mice carrying ...
