Recent research from Duke University has demonstrated a promising new approach that could be used to treat a rare and complex class of genetic diseases, such as PWS, caused by defects in a relatively large region of the genome.

The use of tocolytic drugs in cases of threatened premature birth after 30 weeks of pregnancy does not improve the baby’s health, a new study led by Amsterdam University Medical Center suggests.

Amid an ongoing opioid crisis that contributes to shortening American lifespans, a new study addresses the lack of nationwide data on who keeps naloxone with them and uses it to reverse overdoses.

Colorectal cancer and pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma that harbored the KRAS G12C mutation often carried other genetic alterations that can be associated with resistance to KRAS G12C inhibitors.

A study has demonstrated the impact of HiFi long-read sequencing (LRS) in identifying rare disease variants. These findings highlight the potential of HiFi LRS technology to replace multiple diagnostic tests with a single test.

A new study details rare gene variants that increase the prevalence of Type 2 diabetes across multiple generations of Asian Indian people.

A nationwide study has revealed that survivors of COVID-19 hospitalization face an increased risk of death or organ-related disorders for up to two and a half years after discharge.

The Gene Ontology Consortium has released a new resource mapping human gene functions using evolutionary modeling. The PAN-GO functionome integrates experimental data from humans and model organisms, enhancing biomedical research.

Scientists compared five families and multiple generations to find a gene variant that prevents COPA Syndrome and opens the door to a new gene therapy for the condition.

Scientists are trying to figure out exactly how bacteria spread throughout the body to cause systemic infection in the hopes of eventually stopping this process in its tracks.
