The network will help understand underlying mechanisms of rare diseases and thus enables identification of causative genetic defects more accurately.

Researchers have identified a series of symptoms associated with pancreatic cancer, including two previously unrecognized symptoms, feeling thirsty and having dark urine.

A new study has identified the mechanisms by which a gene variant increases severe COVID-19 susceptibility.

Coffee seeds comprise a variety of minerals, vitamins, caffeine and phytochemicals that can have a myriad of effects on different systems within the body. A new study has focused specifically on the "coffee–kidney" relationship and whether coffee has a protective or harmful effect on kidney health.

According to research, unraveling the entire genetic code for each child who has been diagnosed with cancer can give a more accurate diagnosis or reveal new treatment options.

The causes of IBS are not well understood, but an international team of researchers has now identified several genes that provide clues into the origins of IBS.

Researchers have created a rapid diagnostic technology that detects SARS-CoV-2 by blending experts from molecular genetics, chemistry and health sciences.

A new study suggests that greater cumulative exposure to estrogen in life, for example from having had more children or from having taken menopause hormone therapy, may counter a brain-shrinking effect.

Whole genome sequencing from a single blood test picks up 31% more cases of rare genetic disorders than standard tests, shortening the "diagnostic odyssey" that affected families experience, and providing huge opportunities for future research.

Researchers have shown that a prostate cancer urine test can identify men at "intermediate risk" who can safely avoid immediate treatment and benefit from "active surveillance" instead.
