Researchers have found that a new genetic animal model of Down syndrome is more similar to the changes seen in humans and shows milder cognitive traits than a previously studied model.

Researchers have identified a possible genetic driver of uterine corpus endometrial cancer, the fourth deadliest cancer in women.

Digital breast tomosynthesis showed improved breast cancer screening outcomes over screening with standard digital mammography alone in a study of over a million women.

Prior research on brain-wide associated studies has shown that links between brain function and structure and traits are so weak that thousands of participants are needed to detect replicable effects. However, a new study suggests stronger links can be obtained when machine learning algorithms are utilized, which can garner high-powered results from moderate sample sizes.

The largest genetic study of endometriosis conducted to date has revealed new insights on key variants that increase disease risk. The research is published in Nature Genetics.

Researchers have identified two genes linked to schizophrenia and a third gene linked to both schizophrenia and autism.

A team from Wayne State University has discovered a new technology that will quickly and easily detect active Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB) infection antibodies.

Researchers have identified 10 genetic mutations that can predict the most common type of bladder cancer up to 12 years prior to diagnosis. The study results were presented at the European Association of Urology (EAU) annual Congress in Milan.

New research from the University of Georgia suggests most people don’t understand the difference between a preprint and a published academic journal article.

According to a study published in Nature Medicine, elevated levels of erythritol in the blood are linked with an increased risk of cardiovascular events, including heart attack and stroke.
