LOS ANGELES, Dec. 22 (Xinhua) -- Hundreds of new genes linked to blindness and other vision disorders have been identified in a screen of mouse strains, according to a new research of University of California, Davis. Many of these genes are likely important in human vision and the results ...
Hypertrophic cardiomyopathy.This genetic disease causes the heart muscle to grow abnormally thick. Sometimes, this leads to problems with blood flow out of the heart. Chest pain andshortness of breathoften happen with exercise. Over time, you may have heart failure when your heart muscle becomes ...
000 recorded rare diseases have a known genetic cause. Genome sequencing of large cohorts of rare disease patients provides a route toward discovering the genetic causes that remain unknown. However, large genetic datasets are challenging to work with, slowing down research significantly, s...
The development of whole-genome sequencing technologies has led to a surge in the discovery of sequence variants causing Mendelian diseases1. However, the genetic causes of intrauterine lethality remain poorly understood2 as our current understanding of sequence variation that causes death of humans is...
The research was published online on October 14, 2021, as, "Artificial intelligence enables comprehensive genome interpretation and nomination of candidate diagnoses for rare genetic diseases." Additional centers that participated in the study include Boston Children's Hospital, Christian-Albrechts University...
Other types of genetic diseases include multifactorial inheritance. Still other types of genetic diseases include chromosome abnormalities (for example, Turner syndrome, and Klinefelter syndrome), and mitochondrial inheritance (for example, epilepsy and dementia). Hives Hives, also called urticaria, is a...
Freckles are thought to develop as a result of a combination of genetic predisposition (inheritance) and sun exposure. The sun and fluorescent tanning lights both emit ultraviolet (UV) rays, which when absorbed by the skin enhance the production of melanin pigment by cutaneous melanocytes. People ...
