Study lead Associate Professor Elisa De Franco, of the University of Exeter Medical School, said, "For the first time, we found that DNA changes in non-protein coding genes cause neonatal diabetes.

Scientists have uncovered new genetic causes of diabetes in infants, pointing to a region of the genome that has long been ...

Image Caption: Technologies evolved related to the Human Genome Project. Genes & Diseases publishes rigorously peer-reviewed and high quality original articles and authoritative reviews that focus on ...

Researchers have revealed that so-called ‘junk DNA’ contains powerful switches that help control brain cells linked to Alzheimer’s disease. When people picture DNA, they often imagine a set of genes ...

Scientists have found new genetic causes for diabetes in babies – in a part of the genome that has historically been overlooked in genetic studies. Until recently, most research has investigated ...

From single DNA letter swaps to hidden non-coding tweaks, mutations can rewire how our bodies work—sometimes in life-changing ways. Scientists are uncovering how these changes influence protein ...

Researchers have developed a method to swiftly screen the non-coding DNA of the human genome for links to diseases that are driven by changes in gene regulation. The technique could revolutionize ...
