Monoallelic loss of PTEN and ARID1A is identified in normal colonic epithelium. The resulting haploinsufficient phenotypes ...

Mutations of other genes can increase the risk of getting Alzheimer’s but do not necessarily cause it. Only a few rare gene mutations are known to cause Alzheimer’s – and the GRIN2C mutation ...

Large genomic rearrangements have been found in a subset of patients with autism and schizophrenia, suggesting that recurrent and/or new mutations are involved in psychiatric disorders.

Their findings, published in Nature Aging, describe a never-before-seen link between the two most accepted explanations: random genetic mutations and predictable epigenetic modifications.

One of the earliest strains of bird flu isolated from a human in Texas shows a unique constellation of mutations that enable it to more easily replicate in human cells and cause more severe ...

For example, the MSH3 protein normally helps the cell monitor its DNA for potential mutations, but loops in the DNA formed by extra CAGs can confuse this protein into expanding the CAG repeat.
