Mar. 13, 2025 — A study shows that high-grade glioma tumor cells harboring DNA alterations in the gene PDGFRA responded to the drug avapritinib, which is already approved by the United States ...

Eye color genetics is complex, with multiple genes from each parent determining a person's eye color. Scientists once believed a single gene controlled eye color, but research shows that more than 50 ...

Of this subset of ADRs, 75% were associated with only three genes that impact how the body processes medication. Genetic testing before prescribing could therefore help avoid ADRs in these cases.

Now, the self-styled gene editing pioneer is trying to stage a comeback with another controversial project, aiming to use gene editing to prevent Alzheimer’s disease in future generations.

Last year, Penn Medicine did the first successful external liver perfusion using a gene-edited pig liver. Blood in a brain-dead patient circulated through a pig’s liver that was outside the ...

The work has been published in Science Advances. The results show that the two genes act in a finely tuned interplay: one ensures that the progenitor cells of the brain multiply more, while the ...

Now, a new study of more than 11,000 children with CHD identifies 60 genes that are mutated in CHD patients more often than expected by chance. The study is part of the Pediatric Cardiac Genomics ...

Karen Kennerley / SWNS The colonoscopy revealed a tumor in her colon but she was told it was benign. It wasn’t until she underwent a procedure to remove it in May 2023 that a surgeon thought it ...
