University of Pittsburgh researchers have uncovered blood-based markers linked with healthy and rapid aging, allowing them to predict a person's biological age -; how fast a person's cells and organs age regardless of their birthdate.

Supported by a $2 million R01 grant from the National Institutes of Health, the Auerbach Lab at the Beckman Institute for Advanced Science and Technology will examine how different genes associated with autism spectrum disorders may similarly impact our brain's neurons, resulting in heightened sensitivity to sounds.

A University of Kansas study of rare gene mutations that cause hereditary Alzheimer's disease shows these mutations disrupt production of a small sticky protein called amyloid.

Genetic variant research in hypertension has identified numerous associations but is unlikely to yield new treatments, emphasizing the gap between scientific discovery and clinical application.

Scientists shed light on the 25-million-year-old genetic twist behind why humans and their ape relatives lack tails.

The colon is often thought of as one organ, but the right and left parts of the colon have different molecular features in cancers.

Even as it's become clear that an inherited susceptibility to some cancers is more common than once thought, genetic testing of family members of cancer patients hasn't increased as much as experts had hoped.

In a major scientific breakthrough, newly published research from an international consortium led by the University of Minnesota's Masonic Cancer Center has the potential to transform the landscape of ovarian cancer treatment.

Certain genes associated with hypertension affect blood pressure from early in life, and they increase the risk of cardiovascular disease as you get older. But you can do something about it.
