Genome editing-based therapies typically aim to treat disease by correcting underlying genetic mutations in patient's cells.

In people destined to get Alzheimer's in their mid-40s, one protein can delay the onset of the disease by about 20 years.

A new method for safely inserting large chunks of DNA into genomes has now measured up in mice, potentially paving the way ...

The FDA proposes new rules allowing mutation-specific gene therapies to qualify for approval despite extremely small patient ...

A team of researchers at VCU Massey Comprehensive Cancer Center has identified a new pathway through which mutations in the tumor suppressor p53 gene—found very frequently in human tumors—hijack DNA ...

The Israeli Basket of Health Services now includes preimplantation genetic testing and in vitro fertilization (PGT-IVF) for individuals carrying three specific genetic markers.

Hereditary ATTR-CM can run in families. Learn who may be at risk, when genetic testing is recommended, the benefits of screening, and how to talk with relatives.

By Tarun Sai Lomte Scientists reveal how evolution within our own tissues can drive disease, protect cells, and uncover hidden therapeutic targets for future precision medicine. Somatic genomics ...

Most lethal mutations in wild fruit flies are driven by newly transferred jumping genes, not small DNA errors, according to a new study from Duke University. The findings, published in PLOS Biology, ...

Spain has begun using a new genetic ALS therapy that targets the SOD1 mutation and may slow nerve damage in patients with this rare condition.
