A new study headed by teams at the Wellcome Sanger Institute, EMBL’s European Bioinformatics Institute (EMBL-EBI), and Open Targets has indicated how mutations that cause cancer drug resistance fall ...
New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes ...
A study demonstrates that the 'previous state' of blood stem cells plays a decisive role in the subtype of leukemia that develops. The new technique, called STRACK, allows monitoring of the evolution ...
CAMBRIDGE, MA -- Genomic studies of cancer patients have revealed thousands of mutations linked to tumor development. However, for the vast majority of those mutations, researchers are unsure of how ...
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 ...
Can Rett syndrome be treated with precision medicine? A new study using brain organoids shows that mutations R306C and V247X require different drugs, HDAC2 inhibitors and baclofen, to restore brain ...
A reanalysis of whole-genome data from 130 children conceived after the Chernobyl disaster has identified a statistically significant increase in a specific type of DNA mutation in the offspring of ...
Psoriasis is not caused or spread by spontaneous genetic mutations in the skin, according to a new study. These findings allow for researchers to examine other avenues that may play a part in the ...
