Stefan Fröhling, M.D., and Hartmut Döhner, M.D. The cause of chromosomal abnormalities remains poorly understood. Studies of various types of leukemia have shown that certain environmental and ...

In a newly published article in Nature Genetics, researchers from the University of Chicago have identified tumor aneuploidy—an imbalance in the number of chromosomes—as a powerful biomarker ...

The day after a precise screening test at 12 weeks of pregnancy raised the possibility of a chromosomal abnormality.I ...

Using a new technique, long-read sequencing, that allows DNA to be analyzed in much greater detail than before, a team of Swedish clinicians and researchers has discovered an unexpected complexity in ...

An AI tool identifies cells that can shed light on the earliest origins of cancer through a game of molecular ‘laser tag’. The human body relies on precise genetic instructions to function, and cancer ...

Noninvasive prenatal testing (NIPT), which utilizes high-throughput sequencing technology to analyze cell-free DNA fragments from maternal peripheral plasma, has been widely adopted in clinical ...

A toddler with special needs beams with joy as he tries on a pair of glasses and sees his parents’ faces for the first time.

Researchers have developed a new prenatal test that can determine if a fetus or embryo has the right number of chromosomes at a fraction of the time, cost of other genetic tests. A new prenatal test ...

A microscopic piece of genetic material known as the Y chromosome made headlines last week. It is nothing new or rare; every man has one in practically every cell, or he would not be a man. But a few ...
