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 ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells’ in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Characteristics of Clonal Hematopoiesis (CH) Mutations - a) We identified somatic mutations in known clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP) driver genes using peripheral blood ...

An international group led by researchers from the RIKEN Center for Integrative Medical Sciences (IMS) in Japan has ...

Researchers have refined a powerful DNA sequencing tool that can uncover hidden mutations that occur naturally in our bodies as we age. In the largest study to date, they have used the tool to provide ...

New research suggests that autoimmune diseases may be driven by DNA mutations in immune cells that remove the natural brakes ...

The gene editing treatment targets the relatively common 1717-1G>A splicing mutation, which does not respond to many current CF therapies.

A new Nature study suggests DNA mutations in immune cells may drive autoimmune diseases by removing immune system brakes, ...

They are genes commonly associated with breast cancer in women, but in fact men who carry certain mutations in their BRCA1 or BRCA2 genes are at higher risk of developing certain types of cancer ...
