Most cancers are not driven by a single gene mutation, but rather an accumulation of mutations that develop over the evolution of tumor growth. While mouse models are useful for identifying cancer ...

Psychiatric disorders share genetic variants that cluster into five main factors. Understanding shared biology could improve ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

New study shows that autism is not one condition, but four, each driven by different genes and brain development patterns, helping to reshape diagnosis and care. Study: Decomposition of phenotypic ...

A new synthesis finds that common epilepsies are driven by thousands of tiny-effect genetic variants, most still ...

Breast cancer remains one of the most prevalent and life-threatening forms of cancer, impacting millions worldwide. This malignancy's heterogeneity and complexity have long posed significant ...

An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...

A new study reveals that habitat fragmentation can lead to sudden "tipping points" where a species' genetic health unexpectedly collapses after appearing stable for long periods. By merging network ...
