Shaped by thousands of years of evolution, the body’s immune system is a vigilant guardian primed against external infectious threats. Too much vigilance, however, and this guardian of potent cells ...
Extra X chromosomes significantly increase the risk for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjögren disease, with the prevalence of these conditions being higher among patients with Klinefelter and ...
Conventional investigations of the genetic contributors to Alzheimer's disease (AD) risk and progression have ignored the role of the X-chromosome, primarily due to technical analysis limitations. To ...
Eighty percent of patients with autoimmune diseases are female. These diseases are one of the top 10 leading causes of death for women under 65, and cases are increasing annually worldwide. There is ...

A new tool called PerturbFate can now predict how thousands of genetic mutations drive disease at once — aimed squarely at cancer and Alzheimer’s
A melanoma cell can dodge a targeted drug in dozens of different ways, each driven by a different genetic mutation. But what ...
Aging men often lose the Y chromosome in a growing number of their cells—and it may be far more dangerous than once believed. This loss has been linked to heart disease, cancer, Alzheimer’s, and ...
Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a public health challenge that affects more than 800 million people worldwide. 1 CKD can be caused by a variety of disease processes. Many causes are difficult to ...
The phenomenon now known as mosaic loss of chromosome Y, or mLOY, first emerged when researchers noticed that some men’s blood cells showed a missing Y in standard genomic data. A Primary study on ...
Researchers at Friedrich-Alexander-Universität Erlangen-Nürnberg (FAU) have identified a mechanism that protects the female brain from genetic diseases. Although one of the two X chromosomes is ...
Rare genetic disorders are typically caused by a variant in a single gene. It is estimated that there are over 7000 such conditions, meaning that although individually rare, they are collectively ...
Earlier methods to synthesize HAC relied on linking shorter DNA constructs into a larger chromosome within the cell in a process called multimerization. However, the genetic fragments tended to ...
Significant genetic correlations were found between pediatric neuropsychiatric conditions and various ocular disorders.
