Scientists at The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia have identified both common and rare gene variants associated with the eating disorder anorexia nervosa. "However, despite various genetic studies that identified a handful of candidate genes associated with AN, the genetic architecture underlying ...
Schizophrenia involves some of the same genetic variations as autism and attention deficit disorders, a new whole-genome study has confirmed. "These genes affect synaptic function, so deletions or duplications in those genes may alter how brain circuits are formed," Hakon Hakonarson, director ...
A few days ago, the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia announced the results of a new study. The variant we detected at the 5p14 locus (common variant) has been present for a long time in the genome (most likely since man moved ...
The quest to understand the genetic underpinnings of autism has taken a big stride forward with the discovery of a genetic variant carried by more than two thirds of people with the disorder.. Previous studies that have identified several genes that are ...
Researchers have identified a pair of genes that increase a child's risk of developing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) before the age of 19-adding to a growing list of 30 known genetic factors for the malady.. Because environmental exposures have not had ...
