A large international study suggests that a subset of people with Type 2 diabetes carry genetic variants that blunt the ...

A genetic variant is likely putting some children suffering with myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — at higher risk of developing heart failure, which can be fatal, according to a study ...

Genome-first analyses in UK Biobank and All of Us support RBM20 as an arrhythmogenic DCM gene, with an etiologic fraction of ...

Research into human genomic diversity has a number of applications in biomedicine, evolution, and history. However, many ...

Genetic risk models, including PREMMplus and BOADICEA/CanRisk, refine breast cancer risk assessment by incorporating genetic status and polygenic risk scores. Challenges in classifying gene variants, ...

A study in South Africa reveals that HIV was driving rapid changes in immunity gene frequencies before antiretroviral therapy (ART) became widely available, but this selective pressure has since been ...

Aging is a highly complex process with substantial heterogeneity in health trajectories between individuals. Frailty is a condition in which the body loses its resilience and becomes more vulnerable ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A genetic variant is likely putting some children suffering with myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — at higher risk of developing heart failure, which can be fatal, ...

Although APOL1 variants are linked to kidney disease risk, the presence of the M1 genetic variant appears to reduce that risk.

A new international study finds that people carrying common genetic variants associated with autism tend to have lower density in the brain’s microscopic wiring, even without a formal diagnosis.
