Esotropia and exotropia could have shared genetic risk factors based on findings that genetif duplications on chromosomes were risk factors for the diseases. Genetic duplications in the second, fourth ...

Researchers at the Johns Hopkins Kimmel Cancer Center and its Ludwig Center uncovered new evidence that extra copies of a specific chromosome segment ...

A newborn male with Fryns syndrome (FS), a lethal autosomal recessive condition, also had mosaic tandem duplication of chromosome 1q. Multiple malformations were noted at birth including diaphragmatic ...

Decades ago, researchers showed that Down syndrome (also known as trisomy 21), was caused when individuals carried an extra copy of chromosome 21. Down syndrome is also the most common genetic cause ...

A mother-of-four from Cradley Heath, near Birmingham, has spoken of her two-year-old daughter's diagnosis with an extremely rare disorder, discovered by chance during an unrelated hospital visit.

For a living cell to divide successfully, each daughter cell must inherit the correct genetic material. In eukaryotes, segregation of duplicated chromosomes is performed by the mitotic spindle, a ...

In a recent study published in the Genes journal, researchers assessed the impact of PARK2 duplication or microdeletion on neurological diseases such as Parkinson's. The Parkinson's disease 2 (PARK2) ...

A diagram showing the evolution of vertebrate chromosomes from an invertebrate ancestor through two whole-genome duplication events (shown as starbursts). For simplicity, only one ancestral pair of ...
