Next-generation RNA approach provides hope for genetic diseases missed by current drugs
Researchers at the University of Toronto have developed a next-generation RNA therapeutic approach with the potential to treat a wide range of genetic diseases that share certain disease-causing mutations. The work advances an emerging platform in gene…

Largest ever molecular map of autism opens new paths to precision therapies
For more than two decades, researchers have identified hundreds of genes that increase the risk of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). Yet multiple fundamental questions have remained unanswered: Among them, how do mutations in these genes lead directly to…

More accurate risk assessment developed for Alzheimer’s disease among nonwhite patients
Late-onset Alzheimer’s disease (AD) is a progressive disorder characterized by cognitive decline and memory impairment, affecting an estimated 6.9 million people in the U.S. The clinical course of AD unfolds over many years, often beginning with subtle…

Inherited genetic variants help identify patients at higher risk of aggressive therapy-related blood cancers
Some patients develop aggressive blood cancers years after receiving chemotherapy or radiotherapy for a previous cancer. These conditions, known as therapy-related myeloid neoplasms (t-MN), are currently classified mainly according to a patient’s treat…

Children of centenarians often live longer and face lower cardiovascular risks, analysis finds
Adults with at least one parent who reached age 100 lived longer and had substantially lower risks of cardiovascular disease and hypertension than people whose parents had shorter lifespans, according to a study published today in JAMA Network Open.

How DNA folding controls immune gene activity in T cells
A new study by researchers at the Perelman School of Medicine at the University of Pennsylvania reveals that the three-dimensional folding of DNA at a key genetic locus helps determine when two related immune genes, Ets1 and Fli1, are switched on in T …
