A new study identifies four genes mutations which are associated with an increased risk of suicide. Read More
Researchers have identified specific points on chromosome 11 that increase the risks of developing both cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer's. The study reports managing cholesterol and triglyceride levels could help to reduce Alzheimer's risk. Read More
Researchers report stress during fetal development and early childhood can have lasting implications for brain development, leading to increased risks of brain disorders later in life. Read More
The most common messenger RNA modification in mammals helps coordinate nerve cell response to memory inducting stimulus, a new study reveals. Read More
Analyzing genetic data from over 48,000 people, researchers discovered higher iron levels are associated with an increased risk of cardioembolic stroke. Read More
Researchers report spontaneous errors in DNA that arise as our cells divide and reproduce may be at the root of Alzheimer's disease. The findings suggest the cause of certain neurodegenerative diseases could be traced back to embryonic development. Read More
Researchers have developed new techniques which are able to diagnose Lyme disease bacteria weeks sooner than currently available tests. Read More
Researchers say 1 in 10 older adults have participated in genetic testing, but far more have an interest in getting their DNA analyzed. However, two thirds of those polled say genetic testing could lead them to worry more about their future health. Read More
