Using cortical organoids from individuals with autism, researchers tracked gene activity over development. Early ...

Some lucky people have rare genetic mutations that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep, while the rest of us need around eight hours to function. Now, researchers have ...

A vanishingly rare genetic glitch in a single enzyme can erase a newborn’s brain cells in a matter of weeks, leaving doctors with almost no way to intervene. Researchers have now traced that ...

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 ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. A team led by scientists at the German research ...

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...

Hackathons using AlphaGenome and other AI models are hunting down the genetic causes of devastating conditions that have ...

Watch: Sperm Donor With Rare Mutation Linked to Cancer Sparks Debate After Fathering 67 Kids A sperm donor with a rare genetic mutation linked to cancer is sparking debate about regulation of the ...

A new study published in Nature in the paper, “Developmental convergence and divergence in human stem cell models of autism,” provides new insights by demonstrating that while different mutations ...

Gene-editing tools like CRISPR have unlocked new treatments for previously uncurable diseases. Now, researchers at the ...
