Screening test provides prenatal risk assessment for common genetic conditions in one blood draw without the need for paternal testing Early access via large-scale clinical study to establish the ...

A new study published in JCO Precision Oncology has identified a relatively simple method to predict the cancer patients most likely to develop severe toxicities from chemotherapy. If doctors can ...

Neurons grown from stem cells in the lab form an interconnected network. In this study, researchers used CRISPR to switch off genes in stem cells and then followed how successfully the cells developed ...

Which genes are required for turning embryonic stem cells into brain cells, and what happens when this process goes wrong? In a new study published today in Nature Neuroscience, researchers led by ...

Now available in the U.S., this free, innovative genetic health risk service lets consumers screen for their risk of alpha 1-antitrypsin deficiency (alpha-1) through a small saliva sample they can ...

The screen identifies carrier status for the pregnant person; simultaneously, it finds if the fetus is at risk of genetic anomalies, including chromosomal aneuploidies (plus 22q11.2 microdeletion) and ...

Why do we care whether alcoholism is in bad genes or sowed dreams? Because knowing who is at risk by genetic prodisposition save lots of lives. If addiction is inscribed in our DNA then the ...
