Indiana University School of Medicine researchers have identified a new genetic marker that could play a role in the development of Alzheimer's disease, which is characterized by two primary ...

This Collection contains descriptions of sequence, genetic marker, variant, and recombination data relevant to genetics, population genetics and population genomics. Datasets for SNPs, allele ...

A new genetic study on the causes of chronic kidney disease that combined multiple health measurements has led to a more comprehensive view of kidney function and the potential for targeted therapies, ...

For more than a century, heredity has been framed through the tidy logic of Mendel’s pea plants: traits pass from parent to ...

In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Rett syndrome is a rare developmental disorder, most often due to a mutation in the MECP2 gene on the X chromosome, but it’s not usually inherited. Advances in genetics have launched a new era in ...

In a comprehensive Genomic Press Thought Leaders Invited Review, researchers have synthesized findings from dozens of studies examining how genetic markers for mood disorders influence treatment ...

The COVID-19 pandemic gave us tremendous perspective on how wildly symptoms and outcomes can vary between patients experiencing the same infection. How can two people infected by the same pathogen ...

Imagine identifying autism before its behavioral signs appear. This may become a reality thanks to a groundbreaking technique called “transport-based morphometry” (TBM). TBM is a method that uses ...
