New research is shaking up our understanding of evolution by revealing that some species may not evolve gradually at all. Instead, scientists discovered that certain marine worms experienced an ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time ...

In a groundbreaking study, researchers have linked rare “de novo” genetic mutations—copy number variants (CNVs)—to pediatric obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD).

The study compared data from patients and healthy individuals from Brazil, Canada, and the United States. The results help paint a clearer picture of how genetics influences the development of OCD.

A new international study coordinated by the European Alzheimer's and Dementia Biobank (EADB) consortium sheds light on how ...

“Hormones and DNA are two powerful factors that can push a gene into being switch-like,” Aqil says. “Typically, lots of small ...
