Different neuropsychiatric and neurodevelopmental conditions, such as schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, ...

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 ...

Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai and the Lieber Institute for Brain Development have identified ...

Primary immunodeficiency diseases (PIDs) are monogenic inborn errors of immunity (IEIs) and categorized into 10 groups. There are currently 555 IEIs caused by inherited defects in one or more ...

The blueprint of who we are begins with the genes passed down from our parents. While these inherited traits give us our eye color and height, they can also contain instructions that increase our risk ...

Genetic skeletal disorders are a large group of rare conditions that affect the development and growth of the skeleton. With 771 identified clinical entities, each disorder possesses unique ...

Scientists found that some inherited traits can bypass the traditional rules of genetics, revealing a surprising new layer of ...

Scientists have long known that the DNA code in genes is not the only way to pass genetic traits from parents to offspring. "Epigenetic" marks—chemical modifications to DNA that don't change the DNA ...

Research on Tourette’s indicates that the condition is strongly influenced by inherited genetic factors, with environmental factors also contributing to its development. Tourette syndrome is a ...

Genetic information in the DNA and modifications, such as DNA methylation, define the epigenetic landscape and phenotype and show both Mendelian and non-Mendelian heredity. Scientists have long known ...
