Genetic data show that 14 psychiatric diagnoses cluster into five families of shared risk, explaining why conditions like depression and anxiety often occur together.

For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...

Researchers used genomic structural equation modeling to separate schizophrenia-specific and shared bipolar genetic risks. Schizophrenia-unique variants were linked to lower IQ, while shared variants ...

Researchers screened more than 220,000 single-letter DNA changes, identifying thousands that regulate gene activity in brain, liver, and blood cells. The work sharpens disease risk prediction and ...

Genetic studies of diseases map segments of the genome driving disease. But to understand how those changes contribute to disease progression, it is important to understand how they may alter gene ...

An international team of researchers has shed light on why mental health conditions often occur together. Researchers analyzed data from more than 6 million people to explore the connections among ...

This story is part of a series on the current progression in Regenerative Medicine. In 1999, I defined regenerative medicine as the collection of interventions that restore tissues and organs damaged ...

The genetics of autism has long been one of the most intricate puzzles in neurodevelopmental science. Today, the pieces are coming together more rapidly than ever before. Landmark projects such as the ...
