Study results indicate that mutation strength may shape both tumor–immune system interactions and immunotherapy response.

When the TREX1 gene is functioning normally, it produces a protein that helps maintain DNA in cells throughout the body. Mutations in the TREX1 gene are known to cause a rare and serious disease ...

Researchers have created the first complete map showing how hundreds of mutations in a key cancer gene affect tumor growth.

A research group from the National Cancer Research Centre (CNIO) has found that an alteration in the POT1 gene prevents lung tissue from regenerating, which over time makes breathing difficult. A ...

Genetic disorders can occur due to mutations in one gene (monogenic), multiple genes (multifactorial inheritance), and mutation in one or more chromosomes. Point mutations are where one nucleotide in ...

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) warns that while the risk of human to human transmission remains low, experts and officials must be aware of the risk that mutations in the virus ...
