A study led by USC Assistant Professor of Computer Science Ruishan Liu has uncovered how specific genetic mutations influence cancer treatment outcomes—insights that could help doctors tailor ...

Genome-wide association studies have great potential for advancing our understanding of the genetic background of diseases, but so far, few association studies have focused on maternal and newborn ...

CRISPR promises revolutionary cures, but its edits aren’t always perfect. To tackle hidden risks, UC San Diego researchers developed the ICP system, which fingerprints genetic edits and shows how they ...

General introduction to the estimation of genetic risks -- Mendelian risk -- Risk modified by reproductive history -- Risk based upon phenotype -- Risk based upon genotype -- Familial versus new ...

Genetic testing is rapidly moving genomics from a niche specialty to becoming more integrated into mainstream clinical practice. Once deployed primarily to diagnose rare and inherited conditions after ...

People who learn they have autism after age 6 — the current median age at diagnosis — are often described as having a “milder” form of autism than people diagnosed as toddlers. A new study challenges ...

A new analysis of a group of all-women extreme divers off the coast of Korea has uncovered genetic differences that could help them survive the intense physiological stresses of free-diving—and could ...
