Credit: Photo by Robina Weermeijer on Unsplash Researchers led by a team at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have identified and described a previously unknown neurodevelopmental disorder (NDD) that appears to be the most common neurodevelopmental disorder ever discovered. The condition, caused by a mutation in a small gene called RNU2-2it is … Read more
Credit: spxChrome/iStock/Getty Images Plus A A new study published in Development of Blood provides the clearest evidence yet that exposure to Agent Orange—a chemical agent widely used during the Vietnam War—may leave permanent genetic defects that increase the risk of myelodysplastic syndromes (MDS), a group of bone cancers that can progress to acute leukemia. Led … Read more
picture: To address this challenge, the team identified low-intratumor heterogeneity/high-intertumor variability (LIHV) genes. This signature of 1,341 genes targets markers that remain consistent within a human tumor but vary greatly between patients. By filtering out the discrepant “noise”, the LIHV design enables a robust and reproducible classification of iCCA into five molecular subtypes, each associated … Read more
PD GENEration has more than 30,000 participants, showing the genetic variants associated with Parkinson’s disease may be more common than previously reported. The collaboration expands participation in Parkinson’s genetic research by collecting variable, patient-specific blood. NEW YORK & MIAMI & SETTLE, March 31, 2026–(BUSINESS WIRE)–The Parkinson’s Foundation today announced that more than 30,000 people with … Read more
Article produced in partnership with Jeen Health and Spital Clinic Genetic testing for cancer risk in women, much of its medical history, is only available through a referral that includes a GP, a clinical genetic panel and family history testing that meets certain risk factors. The advent of directly accessible private tests has changed this … Read more

Newswise – Review covers biological and non-biological modification techniques that enable efficient introduction of beneficial genes into plants. It also describes recent advances that improve the efficiency of transformation and expand the range of transgenic crops, providing new tools for developing high-yield, climate-resistant, and disease-resistant crops to support global food security. Genetic modification of plants … Read more
Summary: We have known for a long time that alcohol changes the way the brain works, but new research has discovered a surprising direct mechanism: alcohol does not only affect brain chemistry – its breakdown products (metabolites) directly control genes. The study shows that these epigenetic “rewrites” occur throughout the entire brain after long-term exposure, … Read more
The transition from water to land is a question that still puzzles scientists. Those ancient organisms would need to adapt to the many new challenges of life outside of water. So, how did they do that? In the 2025 study, my colleagues and I tried to understand the genetic basis of adaptation to life on … Read more
