A large-scale genomic investigation has identified new genetic risk factors for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) and revealed substantial overlap with pathways that also predispose individuals to ...

Rare telomere and non-telomere genetic variants significantly affect survival in IPF patients, with non-additive effects on common risk variants. Polygenic risk scores (PRS-IPF) may play a crucial ...

Researchers have identified specific genes containing rare mutations that significantly increase the likelihood of developing ...

New research has found that men who carry a common genetic variant are twice as likely to develop dementia in their lifetime compared to women. New research has found that men who carry a common ...

CAMBRIDGE, MA -- A new study from MIT neuroscientists reveals how rare variants of a gene called ABCA7 may contribute to the development of Alzheimer’s in some of the people who carry it.

ADHD is a neurodevelopmental disorder with a high heritability, in which the genetic component consists of thousands of genetic variants. Most variants only slightly increase the likelihood of ...

The suspected causes of Alzheimer's disease are diverse, and its cures are, today, nonexistent. Subscribe to our newsletter for the latest sci-tech news updates. What's all but certain is that many ...

While most of us carry the same human genes, those genes can have small changes or variations in their sequences, which can have a wide range of effects; some genetic changes may have very little or ...

Found in the Finnish population, a rare variant of the TYROBP gene significantly increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease, a new study led by the University of Eastern Finland shows. This gene ...
