In Mendelian inheritance patterns, you receive one version of a gene, called an allele, from each parent. These alleles can be dominant or recessive. Non-Mendelian genetics don’t completely follow ...

Santhosh Girirajan receives funding from the National Institutes of Health. Genetic inheritance may sound straightforward: One gene causes one trait or a specific illness. When doctors use genetics, ...

Experts say the research could reveal more about the role of genetics in autism and lead to more personalized care. A new study has identified four biologically distinct subtypes of autism, each with ...

Genome wide association studies (GWAS) have identified hundreds of genome regions containing thousands of genetic variants associated with asthma, but it's still not clear which variants have an ...

Shared, broad genetic risk across all disorders was linked to fundamental biological processes involved in regulating gene expression - particularly active during early brain development. The ...
