A new study has identified 80 genes that may increase the risk of developing breast cancer — 70 of which were previously unknown to be tied to the disease. These gene variants — genes that carry a ...

Breast cancer, a significant global health disease affecting millions of people, presents a complex enigma. Understanding the link between genetics and this disease is key to unlocking new approaches ...

and the genetic factors affecting patient susceptibility and response to the disease. It is also a crucial resource to ...

Metabolic enzymes, typically associated with energy production, are now discovered to also play essential roles in the nucleus, such as orchestrating cell division and DNA repair. This breakthrough, ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and their collaborators have discovered a new way in which RAS genes, ...

If your relatives have had heart issues, you may be more at risk due to shared genes. Even when environmental factors play a role, getting tested for any inherited heart conditions is important.

They say the concerns which led to genetic testing being abandoned in 1999 remain, “and are amplified by the vastly increased number of younger athletes” it is proposed would be tested under ...

Tumor suppressor genes make proteins that regulate the growth of cells, and they play an important role in preventing the development of cancer cells. When tumor suppressor genes are altered or ...

Genetic data from nature is used in a wide range of products from nutrient-enriched rice to stone washed denim jeans distressed using enzymes derived from microbes. The deal comes after countries ...

Recent technological improvements have increased accuracy rates to over 99% for most common genetic markers. BRCA1 and BRCA2 mutations increase breast cancer risk by 72% Lynch syndrome raises ...

Most of these occur in adenocarcinoma non-small cell lung cancer. Gene testing can identify an EGFR mutation, and advances in lung cancer treatment have made it possible to target these proteins to ...
