People often remark that allergies run in their family, but the genetic causes have remained unclear. Previous food allergy genetic research has relied upon broad but surface-level methods called ...

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

In an international study, researchers at Lund University in Sweden have identified a gene variant that controls the body's ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers can show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do there.

BUFFALO, N.Y. — A genetic variant is likely putting some children suffering with myocarditis — inflammation of the heart muscle — at higher risk of developing heart failure, which can be fatal, ...

A whole lot more than just one genetic mutation determines whether and how disease develops. lvcandy/DigitalVision Vectors via Getty Images Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene ...

Anxiety risk isn't from one gene as researchers found 58 genetic variants linked to stress response, offering new hope for early detection and treatment.

For more than a century, Mendelian genetics has shaped how we think about inheritance: one gene, one trait. It is a model that still echoes through textbooks—and one that is increasingly reaching its ...
