NEW ORLEANS – The accuracy of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) screening for prostate cancer could be improved by accounting for genetic factors that cause changes in PSA levels that are not associated ...

The mouse is being widely used as a model organism in microarray studies, yet little is known about the range of normal physiological variance in gene expression in complex systems in vivo. In the ...

Genetic variants that determine the shape of your teeth -- including a gene inherited from Neanderthals -- have been identified by a team of researchers. Genetic variants that determine the shape of ...

The human genome is organised in 46 chromosomes, where all but the x and y chromosomes in men are present in two copies. This means that a person with a faulty gene on one chromosome most often has a ...

A group of 20 patients with undiagnosed neurodevelopmental disorders ranging from severe to mild has now received a genetic diagnosis thanks to an international team of researchers at the GREGoR ...

Researchers report that they have identified genetic variants that determine the shape of human teeth, including a gene inherited from Neanderthals. The scientists published their paper “PITX2 ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) is a genetic condition that causes progressive muscle weakness and wasting. It is an X-linked recessive disorder that occurs due to changes in the DMD gene, which ...
