Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found. The research will be presented at the Pediatric ...

According to the 2016 Annual Review of Neuroscience, “the brain has emerged as a main target of genomic imprinting, generating great interest in how this epigenetic regulation provides stable ...

Human cells usually contain two copies of most genes, one of which comes from the mother while the other comes from the father. It's long been thought that usually these two copies, or alleles of ...

A landmark genome-wide study of nearly 600,000 individuals identifies 624 genetic signals for childhood adiposity, many of which act only in early life and point to childhood-specific brain circuits ...

A biobank for pediatric kidney tumors plays a key role in identifying hereditary causes of Wilms tumors. New insights gained with its help enable better risk assessment for affected families and could ...
