Variation is the differences between individuals of the same species, caused by genetic and environmental factors. Surveys into variation give data that are continuous, which means to come in a range, ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Large-scale genetic analysis has helped researchers uncover the interplay between cancer-driving genetic mutations and inherited genetic variants in a rare type of blood cancer. Researchers from the ...

Researchers still do not have a comprehensive picture of the factors that influence gene expression in human cancers. Understanding gene expression in cancer is important because it can reveal how the ...

The findings, published today in Nature Medicine, show that these genetic factors also lead to quicker development of health complications, earlier need for insulin treatment, and a weaker response to ...

A genetic predisposition to having lower insulin production and less healthy fat distribution are major causes of early-onset type 2 diabetes in British Asian people. According to research, these ...
