If a hereditary cause (such as ectodermal dysplasia) is suspected, genetic testing may be recommended ... as acquired idiopathic hypohidrosis or hypohidrotic ectodermal dysplasia.

Ectodermal dysplasia, on the other hand, is a group of genetic disorders that affect the development of ectodermal structures, including teeth, skin, and hair. Recent research has focused on ...

Researchers describe minimal versatile genetic perturbation technology (mvGPT). Capable of precisely editing genes, activating gene expression and repressing genes all at the same time ...

This complex process, known as gene expression, determines which proteins we make and whether we make them in the correct amounts, crucial work given that proteins play a role in virtually every a ...

The same is now possible in gene editing. Rather than employ separate tools for editing genes and regulating their expression, these distinct goals can now be combined into a single tool that can ...

Humans typically have 46 chromosomes arranged in 23 pairs. Genetics plays a key role in answering each of these questions. For humans, our genes dictate much of how our bodies respond to the world ...

The first human trial of insulin-producing cells that have been gene-edited to evade immune attack is a success so far. The cells have survived and produced insulin for a month after being ...

The study identifies 106 genetic variants linked to occupational status, highlighting the interplay between genetics, family environment, and childhood aspirations.

For 30 years, researchers have known that Huntington's is caused by an inherited mutation in the Huntingtin (HTT) gene, but they didn't know how the mutation causes brain cell death. A study ...

Polygenic scores (PGS) are metrics used to estimate the genetic predisposition of people to developing specific mental health conditions, personality traits or diseases. In recent years ...

Established in October 2024 and the largest of its kind in South-east Asia, the Ocular Genetics Service (OGS) provides a centralised and specialised approach to diagnosing and managing inherited ...
