Can trauma be inherited through genes? A life-altering experience “doesn’t just die with you,” one expert says. “It has a life of its own afterwards.” Scientists are gathering evidence that suggests emotional trauma can transcend generations by altering how genes in the offspring are switc...
diseases can be inherited. For the past five years Garvey and many relatives, some as distant as Canada, have been participating in a giant project to hunt down the gene or genes responsible. The study is one of more than a dozen involving hundreds of affected families all over the world....
About one in ten people has, or will develop at some later stage, an inherited(遗传的)genetic disorder, and approximately 2,800 specific conditions are known to be caused by defects (mutations) in just one of the patient’’s genes. Some single gene disorders are quite common-—cystic(胞...
As a proof of concept, we applied MiXcan to conduct the first cell-type-aware TWAS of breast cancer in a publicly available dataset of 58,648 EA women (31,716 cases and 26,932 controls) from the DRIVE GWAS (Discovery, Biology, and Risk of Inherited Variants in Breast Cancer) who were...

“Children who are exposed to more language at home and have higher myelination will also have inherited genes (经遗传获得的基因) from parents who are more excellent in languages,” she said. “No final conclusion could be made before this potential genetic effect are tested. And yet there ...
This set of inherited retinal diseases has been linked to mutations in at least 18 genes, with the most common mutations in the CEP290, CRB1, GUCY2D, and RPE65 genes. For patients with RPE65 gene-related LCA, Luxturna is an available gene therapy that could address and resolve visio...

inherit. Unfortunately, there's a plethora of nasty genetic disorders that parents can pass down to their offspring. These illnesses are the result of inherited mutations on dominant orrecessive genes. None of them are exactly fun, but this list focuses on the very worst genetic...
news feature Biology's last taboo Will gene therapy ever extend to inducing changes in humans that can be inherited down through generations? Maybe so, if the concerns over safety can be ironed out. Jonathan Knight considers the technical challenges and the ethical arguments. For a few days in...
