An estimated 170,000 Australians were diagnosed with cancer in 2025. Many people know the causes of cancer are partly genetic. But how do your genes, which contribute so much of what makes you you, ...

A fleeting DNA fold called i‑DNA can switch cancer‑related genes on and off, revealing a hidden structural weak point that ...

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders ...

BRCA1 and BRCA2 gene mutations increase the risk of hereditary breast cancer. Here's what you should know about the causes, ...

Mitochondrial DNA heteroplasmy is independently associated with an increased risk of CLL, suggesting potential as a novel biomarker for early risk identification.

Bowel cancer cells have the ability to regulate their growth using a genetic on-off switch to maximize their chances of survival, a phenomenon that's been observed for the first time by researchers at ...

In 1986, the nuclear disaster in Chernobyl released large amounts of ionizing radiation (IR) into the environment, and became one of the most serious ...

Australian researchers have discovered that a single mutation in the DNA sequence for a methylation enzyme dysregulates key tumor-suppressing pathways, opening up new avenues for blood cancer ...

It also allowed the team to diagnose the younger of the pair with acromesomelic dysplasia, Maroteaux type (AMDM), a rare genetic disorder affecting the growth of bones. This is the earliest evidence ...
