Genetic testing identifies germline mutations, while genomic testing analyzes somatic mutations in tumors, influencing treatment options. Broader testing criteria are expanding access to genetic ...

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 ...

What do your genes have to do with growing old? Quite a lot. But is it due to the actual DNA, or the way those genes are expressed? KPBS sci-tech reporter Thomas Fudge has more on new research that ...

MODY is a rare form of monogenic diabetes, which refers to diabetes caused by a mutation in a single gene. MODY typically develops before the age of 25 and is often misdiagnosed as either type 1 ...
