By Gina Kolata Researchers have corrected a disease-causing gene mutation with a single infusion carrying a treatment that precisely targeted the errant gene. This was the first time a mutated ...

Acquired DNA mutations found in the SERPINA1 gene can protect liver cells from damage in patients with alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency, new research shows. Alpha-1 antitrypsin deficiency (A1AD ...

a gene essential for MDV’s ability to cause cancer, to look at its mutations. Parcells identified mutations in this gene that correlated with the virulence level of the virus encoding it in work ...

UCLA Health researchers say study findings uncover Huntington's disease mechanisms and pave new ways to develop treatments.

But in about 5% to 10% of cases, the cause is hereditary. This means that the cancer is due to a gene change, called a “mutation,” that’s passed down from a parent. Researchers have ...

Now, scientists have revealed that a newly discovered 'fat gene' could be to blame. Experts from the University of Cambridge say that a mutation to a gene called DENND1B reduces the ability ...

The new findings center on a subset of 22 participants who received amyloid-removing drugs the longest, on average eight ...

Genetics can also influence whether you’ll get this disease. Several gene mutations have been linked to the development of type 2 diabetes. These gene mutations can interact with the environment ...
