CHILDREN of the Chernobyl “liquidators” who risked it all to clean up the toxic mess are now suffering the consequences, ...

Nearly four decades after the 1986 Chernobyl disaster, scientists have identified subtle genetic mutation clusters in the children of exposed fathers. By focusing on radiation-specific mutation ...

Fast functional testing of genetic variants, from newborn genomes to disease models like zebrafish, is transforming ambiguous DNA findings into confident, real‑time treatment decisions.

Researchers have found that a new base-editing gene therapy can help treat a rare neurodevelopmental disorder called Snijders Blok–Campeau syndrome caused by mutations in the CHD3 gene. A specialized ...

Researchers from the University of Bonn have shown that children of cleanup workers at the power plant have an increased number of mutations in their DNA.

U.S. Fast Track designation of ART6043 underpinned by promising clinical data to date and high unmet need in gBRCA-mutated ...
