Comparative analysis revealed that patients in the death group were generally older and more likely to suffer from a range of comorbidities including congestive heart failure, renal disease, and ...

The study shows that in families with genetic disorders, the active copy of a gene often determines disease severity. These findings challenge traditional genetic paradigms and suggest new approaches ...

Interactions with friends and family may keep us healthy because they boost our immune system and reduce our risk of diseases such as heart disease, stroke and type 2 diabetes, new research suggests.

The pair had helped identify a still-unnamed disease, which they had tied to a particular gene and to a particular somatic mutation—a genetic change that had not been passed down from a parent ...
