Researchers report the identification of numerous genes and specific genetic variations that are linked to atrial fibrillation in the largest genetic study of heart arrhythmia to date. Polygenic risk scores were generated using genetic data based on the analysis of data from over a million i
In an effort to treat the rare genetic condition Usher Syndrome Type 2A (USH2A), a University of Houston researcher is developing a gene therapy technique.
For a long time, researchers have worked to understand the immune reactions that take place in the human body during various illnesses, such as cancer and inflammatory disorders.

Despite the fact that they both develop in the same person and share the same genes, skin cells and brain cells are clearly distinct. They differ because each cell type expresses a different set of genes than the others. Cellular mechanisms that tightly regulate gene expression make this pos
Neurons in the striatum, a part of the brain affected by Huntington's disease, are among the most severely affected. The degeneration of these neurons contributes to patients' loss of motor control, which is one of the disease's major symptoms.
