Genetic counselling is an educational process that aims to inform and advise patients and relatives at risk of a genetic condition about the nature of the disorder, the probability of developing ...

Patients were previously met with fragmented care, limited access to genetic testing and a lack of integrated counselling, OGS clinical director Beau Fenner said. The care was also focused on ...

Engineering Biology (EngBio) is an emerging field at the confluence of Biology, Chemistry, Engineering, AI and Data Science. It has the potential to provide innovative solutions to these challenges by ...

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 ...

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 ...

In addition to opening a new window into how human genetic mutations can operate, the researchers hope that their insights lead to new strategies that improve or ultimately save the lives of people ...

Scientists have found 697 genetic variants – or small changes within a gene – linked to depression, of which almost 300 were previously unknown. A Queensland scientist described the project as ...
