New research published in Nature Communications into hidden mutations in mitochondrial DNA has uncovered how high mutational levels coincide with later life and link to aging markers. Mitochondria are ...
As our body ages, cells have to divide to replenish those that become worn out or damaged. Most cells also carry the genome in their nucleus, which has to be replicated each time cell division takes ...
Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...
Scientists at St. Jude Children's Research Hospital have shown that specific brain cells respond differently to H3.3 K27M, a mutation in the histone H3.3 protein that drives many cases of diffuse ...
