Researchers identify a repeat expansion in the GOLGA8A gene as a major genetic driver for a rare, early-onset form of frontotemporal dementia.

Nature and nurture both determine how likely you are to develop a particular disease. Hiroshi Watanabe/DigitalVision via Getty Images Sitting in my doctor’s examination room, I was surprised when she ...

Mayo Clinic researchers have identified a rare mutation in the MET gene that can directly cause metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease. The mutation disrupts the liver’s ability to ...

A new genetic mapping strategy reveals how entire networks of genes work together to cause disease, filling in the missing links left by traditional genetic studies. The technique could transform how ...

Parkinson’s disease (PD) affects nearly 2% of adults over 65, making it the second most common neurodegenerative disorder. It ...
