Of course, different genetic systems react differently to such events. Finally, still other sources of mutations are the many different types of transposable elements, which are small entities of ...

All cancer mutations that cause drug resistance fall into one of four categories. New research has detailed each type, helping to uncover targets for drug development and identify potential effective ...

But a different type of mutation on the same gene could also have the opposite effect, giving some people extremely dense bones that are practically unbreakable. Although environment (including ...

Four genes with significant effects on the timing of menopause have been uncovered by a recent study offering insights into ...

Scientists have discovered that certain changes in the DNA of cells, known as mutations, like the IDH mutation, can act as ...

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.

Hypopituitarism can be caused by mutations in a gene called Sox3. Scientists have now found that ... and removal of functional Sox3 protein reduced the level of a certain cell type called NG2 glia.

Up to half of patients showed significant improvement in study results presented at the American Academy of Ophthalmology ...

Other genetic mutations happen as a natural part of aging, and some happen after exposure to substances that cause damage to your DNA. The types of genetic mutations are complicated because ...

A Ludwig Cancer Research study has punctured a longstanding assumption about the source of the most common type of DNA ...
