A variant in the IL-7 gene may predict which patients with kidney cancer are more likely to experience side effects from immunotherapy. A gene linked to immune system function may help predict which ...

Researchers have mapped all the possible outcomes of changes to a tumor-suppressing gene called VHL, the first step in a huge research endeavor to unpick the outcomes of tens of thousands of genetic ...

COVID-19 cases are climbing across the United States this summer, and experts are pointing to a new strain — the "Stratus" variant, officially known as variant XFG — as a major factor in the increase.

Scientists at Pacific Northwest Research Institute (PNRI) have overturned a long-held belief in genetics: that inheriting two harmful variants of the same gene always worsens disease. Instead, the ...

Researchers found that paired pathogenic variants can restore protein function rather than make it worse. This phenomenon ...

Researchers have mapped the exact variants in a gene that dramatically increase a person's risk of developing several types of cancer. This could lead to improved early detection and targeted ...

Whether we are predisposed to particular diseases depends to a large extent on the countless variants in our genome. However, particularly in the case of genetic variants that only rarely occur in the ...

Genetic research uncovers a continuum between diabetes forms, offering insights for precision medicine. Study: Rare variant analyses in 51,256 type 2 diabetes cases and 370,487 controls reveal the ...
