Genetic data show that 14 psychiatric diagnoses cluster into five families of shared risk, explaining why conditions like depression and anxiety often occur together.

Sometimes, a small error in the sequence of DNA can lead to a very serious disease. Scientists have identified many mutations that arise in a single gene to cause an ...

Bionano Genomics and Greenwood Genetic Center have announced a study published in Genome Research, marking the first use of optical genome mapping (OGM) to explore the genetic factors behind neural ...

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...
