Using single-cell epigenomic profiling of immune cells from 110 individuals, researchers show that genetic variation and ...

How big of a role do our genes play in our lifespan? Quite a bit more than previously thought, a new study suggests.

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...

The research, published in Science, argues that the true genetic contribution to the variation in human lifespan has been masked. A genetic contribution of 55% aligns far more closely with what has ...

Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, it’s usually to try to identify a disease-causing gene to help guide ...

Using twin data from TEDS, researchers compared polygenic score prediction within families and across the population. They ...

Cystic fibrosis represents one of the most common inherited genetic disorders affecting people of European descent, touching the lives of approximately 30,000 individuals in the United States alone.

The blueprint of who we are begins with the genes passed down from our parents. While these inherited traits give us our eye color and height, they can also contain instructions that increase our risk ...
