The paradigm of modern public health is shifting toward a multi-dimensional understanding of how environmental and genetic factors interact to shape human ...

An international research team has identified key genetic factors that confer protective effects against Alzheimer's disease (AD) through a comprehensive genetic analysis of East Asian populations, ...

The vast dataset allowed the Johns Hopkins University-led team to demonstrate robust connections between specific variations in a mother's DNA and their risk of miscarriage. The findings shed new ...

In genome-wide association studies (GWAS), researchers look for small variations in the sequences of human genes that are connected to some characteristic or condition. Scientists have now performed ...

A person who suffers from a particular mental health condition, such as depression, can show a wide variety of symptoms—problems with sleeping, regulating emotions, and concentrating. But are all ...

Genetic research is rapidly overturning the idea that each psychiatric diagnosis is a separate island. Large DNA studies now suggest that many mental health conditions are different expressions of a ...

A new study may help explain why some people are more susceptible to developing drinking problems. Rutgers Health researchers have discovered that brain immune cells from people with a high genetic ...

Various factors can increase the risk of developing migraine, including genetics, hormonal changes, and lifestyle choices like smoking. Migraine is a neurological condition involving intense, ...

When looking at genetic variants in a person's DNA that predispose them to disease, a new study has found having a higher ...

Genetic tests for Alzheimer’s can detect specific genes linked to the disease. In most cases, they can’t definitively confirm or predict a diagnosis, but they can provide insight into your relative ...
