The Pig-A gene plays a pivotal role in the biosynthesis of glycosylphosphatidylinositol (GPI) anchors, which tether a multitude of proteins to the cell surface. Mutations in this X‐linked gene result ...

Researchers are adding new evidence to the emerging concept that 'silent' or synonymous mutations may have crucial consequences. Their study showed how a synonymous mutation in one gene can ...

Investigators have unveiled for the first time that changes in certain genes affect an aggressive cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), differently depending on genetic ancestry. The ...
