This variation arises through genetic mutation and is important as it provides the diversity within and between populations required for natural selection. Epigenetic variation can impact ...

The TP53 gene is a gene that is mutated in many cancers. It is the most common gene mutation found in cancer cells. A tumor-suppressor gene, TP53 codes for a protein that inhibits the development and ...

Bored Panda has tracked down a bunch of photos of animals who aren’t letting genetic mutations stand in their way. From four-eared cats to two-headed tortoises, these cute creatures are rocking ...

Monogenic conditions are caused by a single gene mutation. Access to genetic testing brings with it several advantages – one being early diagnosis for young patients with potentially life ...

This news has medical experts paying close attention. This recent work addresses an antigen once labeled AnWj. Earlier findings had hinted at its importance in certain patients, but its genetic basis ...

The genetic mutation linked to Huntington’s has long been known, but scientists haven’t understood how people could have the mutation from birth, but not develop any problems until later in life.

The genetic mutation linked to Huntington’s has long been known, but scientists haven’t understood how people could have the mutation from birth, but not develop any problems until later in life. New ...

Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) announced on Thursday that it has begun offering individuals with Jewish ancestry swabs to check for mutations ... of the BRCA gene, but if you are ...

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington’s disease is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene in which a three-letter DNA sequence, C-A-G, is repeated at least 40 ...

The Huntington's mutation involves a stretch of DNA in the HTT gene in which a three-letter sequence of DNA, "CAG," is repeated at least 40 times, as opposed to the 15-35 repeats inherited by ...
