A genetic breakthrough reveals why mental health conditions often occur together. New research identifies five disorder ...

On Wednesday, Google's DeepMind AI research lab announced AlphaGenome, an AI model designed to identify disease markers in large volumes of genetic data. It's badly needed in a field that has produced ...

DANVILLE, Pa. – A “genomic-first” approach to screening for rare genetic disorders —identifying specific genetic variants and then studying associated traits and symptoms — can identify these ...

Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

Prenatal genetic testing has existed since the 1970s. In the 1990s, non-invasive testing became available, and significant scientific gains were made. Now, doctors can screen for hundreds of genetic ...

KJ Muldoon wasn’t supposed to make it to his first birthday. He was born in August 2024 with carbamoyl phosphate synthetase 1 deficiency, a genetic disorder that afflicts about 1 in 1.3 million ...
