An exome-wide association study of nearly 38,000 smokers from the Mexico City Prospective Study identified rare coding ...

Scientists have found that a special component in some people's blood provides them with natural protection against malaria. A recent study has demonstrated that a genetic variant named rs112233623-T ...

The variant of the CHRNB3 gene, involved in the regulation of the substance, is starting to be considered as a possible ...

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

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 ...

A massive genomics effort has identified thousands of single nucleotide non-coding variants, which alter gene activity, that link to disease and health.

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body's ...

A novel genetic variant may be a driving force behind the development of metabolic dysfunction–associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) in some cases, according to researchers at the Mayo Clinic in ...

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...
