Uncovering gene-based clues to how disrupted healing in stomach cells increases cancer risk
Few areas of the body face more daily stress and potential damage than the stomach, which must manage everything we swallow. Along with this constant strain, the stomach also produces acid that can damage its own lining and increase the risk of ulcers.

Inherited BRCA2 changes could drive some multiple lung cancers, genomic analysis suggests
Lung cancer remains the leading cause of cancer-related deaths worldwide and is generally thought to arise from mutations acquired over a lifetime through environmental exposures. However, clinicians are increasingly encountering patients with not just…

Gene discovery could help prevent stroke in young people
UVA Health stroke researchers have identified a distinct and temporary pattern of gene behavior during cervical artery dissections, a leading cause of stroke in young people. These unusual gene changes may help explain the dissections and could lead to…

Genetic test ranks risk for Black people hoping to donate a kidney
New evidence supports genetic testing of prospective Black kidney donors to see if they face elevated risks for low kidney function—a factor that could compound health issues if they donate.

Genetically lower systolic BP linked to increased risk of allergic rhinitis
Genetically predicted lower systolic blood pressure (SBP) seems to increase susceptibility to allergic rhinitis (AR), according to a study published online May 29 in Tobacco Induced Diseases.

Large multiple sclerosis brain cohort reveals biological differences linked to disease severity
Why does multiple sclerosis progress quickly in some people, while others remain stable for years? Researchers from the Netherlands Institute for Neuroscience have identified biological patterns in the brain that may help explain these differences. The…
