Researchers have significantly expanded the catalogue of known human genetic variation. The resulting datasets, shared in two back-to-back publications in the journal Nature, constitute what may be ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Individuals that share the same deletion of a portion of chromosome 16 are at risk of developing neurodevelopmental disorders ...

Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence (AI) tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type ...

Genetic variation is the foundation of human diversity, enabling differences in traits such as height, eye color, or blood type. Some sequence variants also cause inherited diseases, including sickle ...

Weight-loss responses to GLP-1 obesity drugs, and risks of side effects, may be linked to genetic variants, according to a study conducted by DNA-testing service 23AndMe.
