A large-scale genetic analysis has identified 36 genes carrying rare mutations that substantially increase the likelihood of developing obsessive-compulsive disorder, chronic tic disorders, or both.

An investigational vaccine helped the immune system recognize and respond to mutations that drive most pancreatic cancers, ...

Scientists estimate that humans could theoretically live 146 to 194 years if most ageing processes were eliminated, but DNA ...

One of the symptoms of schizophrenia is difficulty incorporating new information about the world. This can lead patients to struggle with making decisions and, eventually, to lose touch with reality.

Depending on dose, firmonertinib shrank tumors in 43% to 68% of patients as a first treatment for EGFR PACC-mutant lung ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Understanding the population-level spectrum of genetic variation in cancer-associated genes is critical for improving variant interpretation and informing precision medicine. However, most hereditary ...

Age-related mutations give sperm-forming stem cells a selective advantage during sperm production, shaping disease risk and genetic variation in offspring. Read the paper: Sperm sequencing reveals ...

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, ...
