Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

From the time we are conceived and through old age, genetic mutations accumulate in all our tissues, eluding the body’s typically efficient DNA repair machinery and potentially affecting our health ...

UCLA Health researchers have created a comprehensive map showing how eight different genetic mutations associated with autism spectrum disorder affect early brain development, providing new insights ...

Mutations have conventionally been categorized as either those arising in the germline or somatic mutations acquired during life. Deleterious germline mutations usually lead to conditions that ...

A new study published in Nature Genetics reveals that not all cancer-associated mutations in the same gene behave alike. Led ...

Scientists have created a complete map showing how hundreds of possible mutations in a key cancer gene influence tumor growth. The study focused on CTNNB1, a gene that produces the protein β-catenin, ...
