Scientists have corrected gene mutations in mice causing an ultra-rare disease by editing DNA directly in the brain with a single injection, a feat with profound implications for patients with ...

A massive new genetic analysis reveals that the biological traits underlying autism risk are the same across people of ...

Some lucky people have rare genetic mutations that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep, while the rest of us need around eight hours to function. Now, researchers have ...

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...

There is a rare gene mutation linked to sudden cardiac death and heart failure called phospholamban (PLN). It may not be very ...

Are we evolving to be more stupid? Humans have a relatively high genetic mutation rate, which has been thought to be driving ...

A rare breed of hunting dogs known for its forked nose, the Turkish Pointer, might just help scientists better understand why human babies are sometimes born with facial clefts. In a recent study, ...
