The first 100 bases of many genes show excess mutations, revealing a major genomic weak spot that shapes disease risk and ...

Scientists discovered that the first 100 base pairs of human genes are unusually prone to mutations, especially during the earliest stages of embryonic development. These mosaic mutations often go ...

A hidden TP53 mutation in donor sperm raises concerns about gaps in genetic screening and long-term cancer risk in ...

A new class of life-saving drugs is helping children who once had no hope. But some carry a price tag of millions for a ...

With a rate of mutation 35 percent higher than random chance, this previously unknown weakness could be a major vector for ...

A Danish sperm donor unknowingly carried a rare TP53 gene mutation, leading to nearly 200 children conceived across 14 ...

A new study reports that the locations where genes begin are particularly prone to mutations, and these genetic changes can be inherited by later generations. Researchers have identified previously ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...

A sprawling international fertility scandal is forcing regulators and doctors across Europe to rethink donor screening after ...

A mom was overjoyed when she learned a gene therapy treatment could save her child's life, until she found out no one would cover the $2 million price tag.
