A new CRISPR approach can control genes without cutting DNA, opening a safer path for treating genetic diseases. A newly ...

Many genetic variants linked to inherited eye disorders rarely lead to disease, meaning up to 2% of people could carry these variants without ever developing vision problems, according to a new s tudy ...

Genetic defects are exceedingly common, which is not surprising considering just how many cells make up our bodies, including our reproductive cells. While most of these defects have no or only minor ...

In an exciting scientific first, researchers at the Allen Institute successfully designed a new gene therapy that reversed symptoms related to SYNGAP1-related disorders (SRD) in mice. These are a ...
