An autoimmune disorder that affects the thyroid gland, called autoimmune hypothyroidism (AIHT), is the most common autoimmune disease, yet it remains largely understudied. New research from scientists ...

Broad Institute researchers have developed a way to edit the genetic sequences at the root of Huntington's disease and Friedreich's ataxia. The conditions are two of more than 40 severe neurological ...

Genetic data show that 14 psychiatric diagnoses cluster into five families of shared risk, explaining why conditions like depression and anxiety often occur together.

Researchers are identifying behavioral, environmental and neural factors through which genetic risk for mental health problems is expressed in youth. When trying to understand how genetic influences ...

The human tendency to prefer immediate rewards over long-term goals is partly rooted in our DNA, according to a recent study published in the American Journal of Human Biology. The findings suggest ...

Researchers identified over 400 genetic variants linked to autoimmune hypothyroidism, separating immune and thyroid-specific ...

A study by researchers at The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), the Broad Institute, and Yale University has identified how specific genetic changes function in cells to influence disease risk and other human ...

The Research Article in Genomic Psychiatry titled "The specificity of genetic risk for psychiatric and substance use disorders: Its modification by age at onset, recurrence, and site of treatment," is ...
