Scientists at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have developed a novel artificial intelligence tool that not only identifies disease-causing genetic mutations but also predicts the type of ...

Investigators have unveiled for the first time that changes in certain genes affect an aggressive cancer, T-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), differently depending on genetic ancestry. The ...

A rare genetic mutation that causes a deficiency in an immune regulator called ISG15 is known to make people more vulnerable to some bacterial infections and cause persistent inflammation — but it can ...

An affordable new BRCA gene test has hit the market, but who should take it? — -- A new genetic testing kit that hits the market today is the most affordable, and arguably one of the simplest, ...
