The high school senior from Wake Forest was born with Leber’s Congenital Amaurosis, a rare genetic eye condition that’s left him nearly blind, but he’s not letting his condition stop him from making ...

In the depths of the ocean, where there’s no sunlight and the pressure could crush a submarine, a handful of animals have quietly rewritten their DNA to withstand these conditions. According to a new ...

Genetic testing can confirm the diagnosis by identifying mutations in the GBA gene,” explained Dr Ankush Golhar. While Gaucher disease does not have any cure yet, it can be treated. The primary ...

The new cash is designed to fuel Atsena’s lead program, an investigational gene therapy dubbed ATSN-201. The asset is designed to treat X-linked retinoschisis (XLRS), an inherited eye condition ...

Their findings, published in the prestigious journal Nature, highlight mutations in the VPS35 gene as a critical factor that can hinder the effectiveness of chemotherapy. According to the researchers, ...

Scientists have discovered a genetic mutation in wild jaguars, sparking a heated debate: should we intervene and preserve this mutation, or allow natural selection to take its course? As we face ...

It turns out the unique color is caused by a recessive genetic mutation, rather than the expression of a gene known to turn cats white. You’ve probably heard of spooky black cats, chaotic orange ...

The goal, it said, is safeguarding genetic privacy for 15m Americans by securing their data on blockchain. 23andMe, launched in 2006, became popular for affordable at-home genetic testing kits. These ...

New research analyzing their evolution finds the same mutation across fish species that have evolved on separate timelines — alongside human-made pollutants contaminating the deep sea.

Genetic testing, also known as DNA testing, involves obtaining DNA from a sample of cells in your body to identify specific genes, chromosomes, or proteins, including those that are faulty (known as ...

They injected their editing tools into the eyes of mutation-carrying mice and analyzed gene editing via sequencing. They found that the mutation was corrected in both light-sensing photoreceptor cells ...

UD researchers extracted the DNA from the samples and worked to amplify the MDV meq oncogene, a gene essential for MDV's ability to cause cancer, to look at its mutations. Parcells identified ...
