Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in ...

New Cleveland Clinic research reveals that up to 5% of Americans—approximately 17 million people—carry genetic mutations or "variants" linked to increased cancer susceptibility, regardless of risk ...

The difference between hereditary (germline) and acquired (somatic) gene mutations in cancer can lead to much confusion. This is especially true if you’re hearing about genetic testing for a genetic ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
