— The genetic roots of a disease or disorder do not always grow into clear cut, easily diagnosed clinical features. Even if a parent and child have the same genetic marker implicated in an outcome, ...

"It's a slow-moving train wreck," Mike Graglia says about his 12-year-old son Tony's rare genetic disease with no cure. Caused by a tiny fluke of nature—a mutation in a gene known as a SYNGAP1—the non ...

Rare genetic traits are features that are uncommon within the general population. They can lead to different observable features or to rare physical abilities. Rare genetic traits are typically ...

Scientists now show that the same DNA can affect both mental and physical conditions. This study suggests that the body works ...
