Imprinting disorders are a heterogeneous group of congenital conditions arising from aberrant genomic imprinting, wherein gene expression is determined by parent-of-origin-specific epigenetic ...

A gene linked to autism spectrum disorders plays a critical role in early brain development and may shape the formation of both normal and atypical nerve connections in the brain, according to a new ...

Cutting-edge DNA mapping technology identified new genetic information that can help researchers decipher more genetic diseases, a new study found. The research will be presented at the Pediatric ...

At the genomic level, the researchers identified over 100 regions of the genome where genetic variants influence multiple disorders simultaneously. One region on chromosome 11 stood out as a "hotspot, ...
