Some have called the korean war the forgotten war. But today, we prove these heroes were never forgotten. Today, our boys are coming home. Next begins the process of identifying them, and hopefully getting others returned. Over 33,000 americans lost their lives in korea, over 7,000 are still unaccounted for. Vice president pen...

1. In this cohort study of families with suspected Mendelian disorders for whom preliminary genetic testing had not revealed a diagnosis, nearly one-third of families obtained a plausible molecular diagnosis after genome sequencing. 2. While enhancing prior exome sequencing likely would have revealed the causal variants in most cases, over one-quarter of the new diagnoses

Mutations are changes in the molecular 'letters' that make up the DNA code, the blueprint for all living cells. Some of these changes can have little effect, but others can lead to diseases, including cancer. Now, a new study introduces an original technique, called HiDEF-seq, that can accurately detect the early molecular changes in DNA code that precede mutations.

A study has identified over 140 new genetic risk factors for restless legs syndrome, increasing the total to 164.

Scientists have discovered genetic clues to the cause of restless leg syndrome, a condition common among older adults. The discovery could help identify those individuals at greatest risk of the condition and point to potential ways to treat it.
