Researchers Say A Faulty Gene Copy Can Make The Heart's DNA Fold The Wrong Way
The findings suggest that some genetic mutations may cause disease not only by changing individual genetic instructions, but also by disturbing the physical arrangement of the genome itself

World's Youngest Alzheimer's Patient Was Just 19. Doctors Still Can't Explain Why
A 19-year-old in China has become the youngest person ever diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, baffling doctors after no known genetic mutations were found to explain his rapid memory decline, which began when he was just 17.

Six Real Genetic Mutations That Sound Like Superpowers
Scientists have identified rare genetic mutations granting extraordinary abilities, including minimal sleep, extreme strength, and reduced fear or pain responses.

How Some People Manage On Just 4 Hours Of Sleep? Scientists Answer
A mutation affects the sleep-wake cycle, leading to less sleep and potentially more deep sleep.

Genetic Mutations May Directly Influence Epigenetic Clocks and Aging
A study published in Nature Aging suggests a direct link between genetic mutations and epigenetic clocks, reshaping current theories on biological aging. Researchers found that DNA mutations influence methylation patterns, potentially driving the aging process. This challenges the idea that epigenetic changes are merely reflections of aging rather ...

Google's New AI Tool Predicts Danger Of Genetic Mutations
Researchers at Google DeepMind, the tech giant's artificial intelligence arm, on Tuesday introduced a tool that predicts whether genetic mutations are likely to cause harm, a breakthrough that could help research into rare diseases.

Non-Judicious Use Of Therapies Puts Immune Pressure On Virus: Medical Body
Non-judicious use of therapies, that have not been scientifically established for treating COVID-19, put immune pressure on the virus which can lead to mutations, said Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) chief Balram Bhargava amid concerns over the United Kingdom variant of the coronavirus.

''The Man With Three Faces'' Has Second Transplant
Jerome Hamon is getting used to his new soubriquet "the man with three faces". He remains in a Paris hospital, three months after undergoing his second face transplant, but has quickly accepted his new "identity".

Discovery: Arthritis Could Be The Reason We Survived Ice Age
The genetic variance in GDF5 gene helped early humans to survive in the ice-age and this mutation resulted in osteoarthritis in the later period of human evolution.
