Huntington's disease is caused by an inherited genetic change that causes production of an altered protein. This leads to nerve damage in areas of the brain that control movement and thinking.

Scientists at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, Harvard Medical School, and McLean Hospital have discovered a surprising mechanism by which the inherited genetic mutation known to cause ...

Sickle cell disease is a hereditary condition, which means a person inherits it from their biological parents. The condition occurs when a person inherits two copies of the hemoglobin beta (HBB) gene ...

While most known types of DNA damage are fixed by our cells' in-house DNA repair mechanisms, some forms of DNA damage evade repair and can persist for many years, new research shows. This means that ...

Androgen Insensitivity Syndrome (AIS) is a genetic condition where a person with XY chromosomes cannot respond to male ...
