With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

However, many women with BRCA mutations perceive MHT as unsafe, due to concerns about their already elevated breast cancer ...

DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...

Thousands of previously “invisible” microproteins—tiny chains of fewer than 100 amino acids—can profoundly change human biology when mutated. A fundamental discovery is overturning decades of ...

GENEVA, June 14 (Reuters) - The United Nations human rights office on Friday warned that the global fight against female genital mutilation was being undermined by families crossing borders to have ...

Researchers have discovered new regions of the human genome particularly vulnerable to mutations. These altered stretches of DNA can be passed down to future generations and are important for how we ...

Researchers estimate that each individual human inherits some 60 genetic mutations not found in either parent—an average of one mutation for every 100 million nucleotides. Previous estimates of human ...

A coalition of nonprofit and state organizations, formed under a Washington law creating criminal and civil penalties for female genital mutilation, has set out to educate and support victims and ...
