Scientists at Gladstone Institutes have flipped the traditional approach to finding potential treatments for deadly diseases.

Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.

Men losing Y chromosomes as they age may face a higher risk of heart disease, cancer, and reduced life expectancy. Here’s ...

Scientists have identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human health traits. By probing regions of DNA previously linked to disease, the work has ...

As men age, they lose parts of the Y chromosome. Research suggests this may have a greater impact on health than previously assumed.

Conventional investigations of the genetic contributors to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and progression have ignored the role of the X-chromosome, primarily due to technical analysis limitations. To ...

Extra X chromosomes significantly increase the risk for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease, with the prevalence of these conditions being higher among patients with Klinefelter and ...

Men who lose the Y chromosome in blood cells face higher heart disease risks, independent of smoking, obesity, or diabetes.

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health challenge that affects more than 800 million people worldwide. 1 CKD can be caused by a variety of disease processes. Many causes are difficult to ...

Scientists have pinpointed crucial genetic resistance to a fungal disease that threatens the global banana supply in a wild ...
