Scientists say that 55 percent of differences in human lifespan are due to genetic makeup, much more than previously believed ...

Greenland has changed quickly in the past 25 years. Along with new foods, jobs and habits has come a sharp rise in type 2 diabetes and heart disease. For many people there, these illnesses feel recent ...

A new study from the University of Cambridge found that Labradors and humans share a key gene linked to obesity. The DENND1B gene influences hunger signals in the brain, making those with the variant ...

Preeclampsia, gestational hypertension, and other adverse pregnancy outcomes (APOs) are known predictors of worse cardiovascular health later in life, but a new mendelian randomization study suggests ...

A gene on the X chromosome revs up inflammation in the female brain, which may explain why rates of multiple sclerosis are higher in women than in men, scientists suggest. When you purchase through ...

Researchers at the University of California San Diego have identified new genetic variants associated with autism spectrum disorder (ASD) by using long-read whole genome sequencin ...

At the center of the discovery is PEDS1, a gene critical to the production of brain lipids. When this gene fails, it doesn’t just disrupt cell formation, it can reduce brain size and lead to severe ...
