The results, published May 5 in Nature Genetics, offer a new way to understand the molecular roots of cancer — an especially ...

Most mutations that cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a major study of human protein variants that was published in Nature ...

Dysfunction resulting from mitochondrial DNA mutations has been implicated in multiple human pathologies, including ...

A new study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA mutation seen in the genome--one that contributes to many genetic diseases, including cancer. A ...

A team of scientists led by Prof. Patrik Verstreken (VIB-KU Leuven) has identified a new genetic mutation that may cause a form of early-onset Parkinsonism. The mutation, located in a gene called ...

Families with rare gene mutations that cause Alzheimer's in middle age are giving scientists a unique window on the disease, ...

Scientists have traced a devastating pattern of brain cell loss in a handful of families to a single, ultra-rare mutation that sabotages one of the brain’s key protective enzymes. The discovery not ...
