A genetic mutation passed from mother to children in families affected by schizophrenia has now been shown to completely ...

Experiments on an ultra-rare genetic mutation that causes neurodegeneration in children have helped uncover a new mechanism by which brain cells die. The findings raise the possibility that similar ...

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 ...

The study used large-scale CRISPR gene-editing technology to systematically determine which genes are required as embryonic ...
