As a group, carriers of recessive disorders are slightly less healthy and have a reduced chance of having offspring. This disadvantage is greatest for carriers of a recessive gene for intellectual ...
Most mutations that cause disease by swapping one amino acid out for another do so by making the protein less stable, according to a major study of human protein variants that was published in Nature ...
STRING analysis of 60 significant genes in CHD. Genes not previously implicated in human CHD that have at least one edge are denoted by red star. Congenital heart disease (CHD) is one of the most ...
Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
A team of geneticists and animal welfare specialists from the U.K. and one from the U.S. has identified the genetic mutation responsible for a newly discovered cat coat color pattern in Finland. In ...
Unstable proteins are the main drivers of many different heritable diseases, according to a new study, including genetic disorders responsible for the formation of cataracts, and different types of ...
Glanzmann thrombasthenia (GT) is a rare blood clotting disorder. It’s caused by genetic mutations that affect your platelets, and it can make you more prone to excess bleeding. Chances are, you don’t ...
