Management of mitochondrial-related heart disease relies on multidisciplinary care and symptom control, as targeted gene-editing therapies are limited.

Rare genetic disorders are typically caused by a variant in a single gene. It is estimated that there are over 7000 such conditions, meaning that although individually rare, they are collectively ...

Most research in human genetics has historically focused on people of European ancestries—a long-standing bias that may limit the accuracy of scientific predictions for people from other populations.

A comprehensive genetic investigation led by Dr. Feng Liu at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital has uncovered ...

A reduced genome in an island species raises evolutionary questions.

Researchers at Princeton University and the Simons Foundation have identified four clinically and biologically distinct subtypes of autism, marking a transformative step in understanding the condition ...

Autism biology unfolds on different timelines The team also found that autism subtypes differ in the timing of genetic disruptions' effects on brain development. Genes switch on and off at specific ...
