Scientists at Gladstone Institutes have flipped the traditional approach to finding potential treatments for deadly diseases.

Human DNA constantly refolds in 3D space, and these looping dynamics regulate gene expression and cell identity.

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized ...

I thought the hardest part of this journey would be to find a cure and a treatment for my son,” Andrew Jedlicka told The Post ...

For decades, the dream of fixing harmful mutations in mitochondrial DNA felt out of reach. Scientists have long known these mutations cause serious diseases that pass down only through mothers. They ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A SickKids led study has found that tiny repeated DNA segments called short tandem repeats vary not only in length but also in ...

Despite rapid advances in genetic testing over recent decades, about half of people with a suspected Mendelian genetic disorder have no accurate diagnosis, while others may have to wait years for ...

During the Boston Globe’s Rare Disease Summit, Dr. Wendy Chung, a physician-scientist and geneticist who leads the Department ...

How does our DNA store the massive amount of information needed to build a human being? And what happens when it's stored incorrectly? Jesse Dixon, MD, Ph.D., has spent years studying the way this ...
