Forty years ago, a postdoctoral researcher named James McGrath who would go on to spend more than three decades as a clinical geneticist and research scientist at Yale, made a discovery that advanced ...

A large genetic screen has revealed how stem cells transform into brain cells, exposing hundreds of genes that make this ...

Genetics is just one of several factors thought to influence personality disorder development. Life experiences, family dynamics, coping mechanisms, and social learning may all be contributing factors ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

A new study from the NIH’s All of Us program is shaking up long-held assumptions by revealing that genetic ancestry rarely aligns with racial labels — and that the interplay between biology and ...
