This review comprehensively summarizes the latest advances in MG genetic research, focusing on the discovery and validation of susceptibility genes, genetic heterogeneity and subtype-specific genetic ...

Significant gene variants were found in the loci DRD2, FURIN, and CYP7B1, which play a part in neuroinflammation, neurosteroid synthesis, and synaptic function.

The first human trial of insulin-producing cells that have been gene-edited to evade immune attack is a success so far. The cells have survived and produced insulin for a month after being ...

This complex process, known as gene expression, determines which proteins we make and whether we make them in the correct amounts, crucial work given that proteins play a role in virtually every a ...

A ba­by boy born with a de­bil­i­tat­ing ge­net­ic dis­ease will like­ly no longer re­quire a liv­er trans­plant to sta­bi­lize his con­di­tion, thanks to a first … ...

The same is now possible in gene editing. Rather than employ separate tools for editing genes and regulating their expression, these distinct goals can now be combined into a single tool that can ...

Some genes are beneficial and enhance longevity. For example, the gene that helps a person metabolize cholesterol would reduce a person's risk of heart disease. Some gene mutations are inherited.

The study included 25 individuals with a confirmed presence of the MLH1 gene mutation with a family history of at least two generations, geographic origin, site of tumour, and other details.

Each gene tells a cell to make a specific molecule, but this isn't performed by the DNA itself. Instead, the information is relayed to cellular machinery by a molecule called messenger RNA.
