HOUSTON ― Researchers from The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center have discovered that grouping epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) mutations by structure and function provides an ...

Despite progress in defining functional elements of noncoding DNA, it is still not fully understood. Researchers, using an experiment that elucidated the function of tens of thousands of noncoding ...

Poly (ADP-Ribose) Polymerase Inhibitor Activity in Prostate Cancers Harboring Mutations in DNA Repair Genes: Who Benefits? Functional RNA studies often involve reverse transcription polymerase chain ...

In a recent study posted to the bioRxiv* preprint server, researchers explored the characteristics of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) variant of concern (VOC) Omicron BA.1 ...

—Classifying myelodysplastic syndrome and secondary acute myeloid leukemia by genetic mutations rather than strictly by blast count may allow more patients to be eligible for AML and MDS clinical ...

There are some genes that can promote cancer; they are sometimes called oncogenes, and in tumor cells, mutations are often found in these genes. When they are functioning normally, oncogenes are often ...

Two mutations identified in individuals with developmental and epileptic brain disease can be traced back to the same ion channel. Researchers have now elucidated how both independent mutations affect ...

Activating mutations on the EGFR protein, including exon 20 insertion mutations, have a role in NSCLC, but the associated structural changes resulting from the V769insASV and D770insNPG EGFR exon 20 ...

Amidst the debate around whether pathogenic mutations of presenilin harm cells by a gain of toxic function, or a loss of essential normal function (see ARF related news story), new results with ...

SEATTLE – A team of researchers led by Janet Stanford, Ph.D., of Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center has discovered that mutations in the gene BTNL2, which encodes a protein involved in regulating ...
