In this study, researchers aimed to characterize the mutational landscape of the tumors of domestic cats to determine whether similarities to humans could translate to the clinic.

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

Neurogeneticists have discovered a novel genetic mutation and associated buildup of toxic proteins in the brain -- a type of buildup distinct from amyloid or tau, proteins that have long been the ...

One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is difficulty incorporating new information about the world. This can lead patients to struggle with making decisions and, eventually, to lose touch with reality.

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

Researchers found a grin2a mutation disrupts a brain circuit that updates beliefs using new information. In mice, restoring ...

Researchers discover that a mutation in the grin2a gene impairs a thalamocortical brain circuit, preventing the brain from ...

Researchers have used advanced genetic sequencing on a Brisbane family to identify a gene mutation linked to ulcerative colitis, a type of inflammatory bowel condition, sparking hopes of new ...

The genetic mutation that enables yaks to live in environments with much less oxygen, and may hold the key to repairing nerve damage ...

A research team has identified a new type of cat which has the typical adorable face and fur pattern of the black and white tuxedo cat, but with a difference: the fur on this feline’s back starts off ...

Researchers have pinpointed a gene mutation associated with survival at high altitudes that could restore myelin to damaged ...
