Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

Most of the genetic risk for developing a substance use disorder comes from genes that broadly affect how our brains process ...

Rare diseases are hard to diagnose and often require costly genetic testing and visits to specialists. The testing can be hard to access, especially for people who live in rural areas. Researchers at ...

Researchers analyze 2.2 million genomes to show that addiction risk is primarily driven by broad genes affecting brain wiring and impulse control, not drug-specific traits.

Scientists have pinpointed genetic changes that can leave children born with little to no immune defense against infection. In a new study of 11 affected individuals, researchers from Newcastle ...

Researchers at UCLA Health have found that a person's risk of developing psychotic-like experiences may be influenced by both childhood attention problems and their genetic makeup. The findings, ...

Metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) affects nearly one in three adults around the globe. It starts when fat builds up inside the liver’s cells. Over time, this buildup can ...

Scientists in China have developed a "capsule" delivery system to transplant healthy mitochondria into diseased cells, a breakthrough that could lead to new treatments for Parkinson's disease, rare ...
