Researchers at the Stanford University School of Medicine, in collaboration with the genetics company 23andMe, have identified a genetic basis for rosacea, an incurable and poorly understood skin disease.
Nine years ago, he identified a genetic mutation that can lead to colorectal cancer.
But now scientists have identified a genetic technique that could stop the mite in its tracks.
Now scientists in Sweden have identified a genetic factor that makes some chickens vulnerable to this behavior but spares others.
Two groups of scientists have independently identified a genetic variant that significantly raises the risk of heart disease.
In about half of these patients, researchers have identified a genetic mutation that appears to be responsible.
Researchers have now identified a genetic "on" switch that triggers regeneration at developmental stages when the animal normally lacks the capacity.
Scientists have also identified a genetic variant linked to increased risk of Alzheimer's disease, but in that case, there are no recommended interventions at all.
In two of the first five, the researchers believe they identified a genetic mutation that helped the physician make choices about the patient's treatment.
He has also identified a genetic mechanism by which pathogenic fungi can quickly alter their outer coatings, or appearance, and thus potentially evade the immune system.
The researchers also identified a genetic marker that could be used to predict which patients would most likely benefit from this type of treatment.
