Gene Mutation Behind Different COVID-19 Death Rates Among Indian States: Study
Variation in a genetic mutation among Indians may be the main reason behind the difference in the death rates due to COVID-19 across various states of the country, says a study that could inform new policies for controlling the novel coronavirus pandemic.

Researchers Identify Second Gene Mutation Linked To HIV Resistance
A rare genetic mutation that causes a form of muscular dystrophy affecting the limbs also protects against HIV infection, Spanish scientists reported Thursday.

Gene Mutations Responsible For Obesity Identified
This can offer new treatment techniques to fight obesity.
-
Scientists Have Identified The Gene That May Increase Life Span By 10 Years
Scientists have identified a genetic mutation - found in an Indiana Amish family - that may extend life by up to ten years, and are now testing an experimental "longevity" drug that recreates the effect.
-
Modification Of Genes In Human Embryos
Scientists are very close to snipping inherited genetic diseases out of human offspring using a gene-editing technique called CRISPR. For the first time, scientists said, they corrected a gene mutation linked to inherited heart conditions in human embryos using the approach.

Why Are Women So Good at Reading Minds?
Women are said to genetically score higher on "mind reading" and have an ability to better intuit. It's probably a 'mind reading' gene mutation that gives them that ability.

Gene Mutation Behind Rare, New Brain Disorder Identified
Scientists have identified the genetic mutations behind a rare, unnamed neurological disorder that was identified among siblings in two families from Pakistan and Oman.
-
Rare Gene Mutation Linked To Oesophageal Cancer Discovered
Scientists, including those of Indian origin, have discovered that a rare genetic mutation is associated with susceptibility to oesophageal cancer and familial Barrett oesophagus.
-
New Rare Form Of Hereditary Colon Cancer Identified
Researchers have discovered that mutation in a gene can led to a form of hereditary colon cancer which was not identified earlier.

Autism Not Just A Disease Of The Brain: Study
Autism, which significantly impairs an individual's ability to communicate as well as interact socially, has also been found to impact their senses, says a new study.

Switching Off A Gene May Reduce Heart Attack Risk: Study
People with a specific mutation in a gene have a 50 per cent lower risk of suffering a heart attack, which if switched off with medications could reduce the risk of coronary disease significantly, scientists say.

Scientists Decode How Key Defence Protein Triggers Cancer
A team of Swiss and Russian scientists has decoded how a defence protein that fights viral infections in our body takes advantage of a weakness in our DNA replication process to induce mutations in our genome, leading to cancer.
