The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients ...
In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...
Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...
Computational biologists have uncovered how RNA splicing -- a crucial process for isoform expression and protein diversity -- is regulated across different cell types in the peripheral blood. This ...
Most cases of immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy are sporadic (or idiopathic), occurring over time for reasons experts don't fully understand. Research suggests that genetic factors are involved in ...
A whole lot more than just one genetic mutation determines whether and how disease develops. lvcandy/DigitalVision Vectors via Getty Images Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene ...
