Unexpected genetic benefit: A PTPN22 mutation tied to autoimmune diseases helped mice survive otherwise lethal coronavirus infection by enhancing natural killer cell function. Therapeutic potential: ...

Scientists wanted to know why the chatter of Alston’s singing mice sounds so much like human conversation. What they found ...

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

Acute myeloid leukemia often involves a mutation of the FLT3 gene. Although this does not affect AML symptoms, it can affect the survival rate. Acute myeloid leukemia (AML) is a type of cancer that ...

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

Tatiana Schlossberg, the youngest granddaughter of President John F. Kennedy, recently revealed she was diagnosed with terminal acute myeloid leukemia (AML) due to a rare genetic anomaly. In a ...

For members of a large extended Colombian family, an early Alzheimer’s diagnosis is practically a grim guarantee. But new research further supports the idea that a rare genetic mutation can delay the ...

Treatments based on genomic profiling can significantly extend survival for patients with advanced or rare cancer, but only ...
