Researchers at the University of Kentucky Sanders-Brown Center on Aging have uncovered evidence that a single genetic variant may influence the risk of two of the diseases people fear most—dementia and cancer—but in opposite ways.

Researchers at NYU College of Dentistry have uncovered what may be biologically driving oral health issues unique to Down syndrome. Their study, published in Cell Reports, describes a molecular mechanism—a defect in calcium signaling—behind low saliva …

A toddler’s activity levels are influenced by genetic differences, with some of the same genetic markers also linked to attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), according to new research from the University of Surrey. In the first study of its …

Hereditary hearing loss affects millions globally, with mutations in the SLC26A4 gene among the most common genetic triggers, particularly across Asian populations. This condition leads to severe-to-profound deafness accompanied by inner ear malformati…
