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 ...

Most cancer genome studies have focused on mutations in the tumor itself and how such gene variants allow a tumor to grow unchecked. A new study takes a deep dive into inherited cancer mutations ...

University of Queensland researchers have discovered a mechanism in DNA that regulates how disease-causing mutations are inherited. Dr. Anne Hahn and Associate Professor Steven Zuryn from UQ's ...

Medically reviewed by Jeffrey S. Lander, MD Key Takeaways There is a hereditary form of transthyretin amyloid cardiomyopathy (ATTR-CM) caused when a mutated gene is passed from parent to child.Having ...

An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

Colorectal cancer is often linked to lifestyle, but inherited gene mutations can also raise risk. Hereditary conditions like Lynch syndrome and familial adenomatous polyposis (FAP) can lead to ...

Clinical and economic value of comprehensive genomic profiling in patients with advanced solid cancers using Australian real-world data: Preliminary analyses. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the ...

Studies find genetic, epigenetic, and transgenerational effects from pesticide exposure, particularly during early life.

The prothrombin gene mutation increases your risk of severe blood clots. Medications, regular checkups, and healthy lifestyle habits can help reduce this risk. The prothrombin gene plays a crucial ...

Noonan syndrome is a hereditary condition that occurs when a person inherits a certain genetic mutation from a parent. A genetic mutation may also occur at conception due to an irregularity in the egg ...
