Tel Aviv University researchers have made a discovery that could enhance our understanding of genetic mutations and their role in brain development. The study, "Protective inherited mutations in ...
This useful study examines how deletion of a major DNA repair gene in bacteria may facilitate the rise of mutations that confer resistance against a range of different antibiotics. Although the ...
Tobacco smoking is linked to specific genetic mutations in MDS, affecting chromatin modification and RNA splicing pathways. A dose-response relationship exists, with higher smoking intensity ...
The mutations, known as copy number alterations, involve the duplication or loss of large segments of DNA. In most cases, the body's natural DNA repair mechanisms correct these changes.
Study is the first to identify discrete genetic mutations associated with smoking, to establish a dose-response relationship between smoking and genetic mutations and to show that continuing to ...
Researchers at Rambam Medical Center in Haifa have identified a genetic mutation linked to a certain type of autism, developmental delays and movement disorders. The mutation in the TBCB gene ...
Genetic mutations can increase cancer risk. BRCA, Lynch syndrome, and TP53 mutations are linked to specific cancers. Regular screening, genetic counseling, and lifestyle changes are crucial for ...
