The association between IDO activity and clinical prognosis in patients with early stage non-small cell lung cancer after stereotactic body radiotherapy. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract from the 2020 ...

Researchers from North Carolina State University have developed an array that assesses methylation levels of genes located in imprint control regions (ICRs) within the human genome. The array ...

A biobank for pediatric kidney tumors plays a key role in identifying hereditary causes of Wilms tumors. New insights gained with its help enable better risk assessment for affected families and could ...

(Embargoed) CHAPEL HILL -- New research at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill offers an important contribution to a new wave of thinking in genetics: the idea that not all human disease ...

Hereditary diseases as well as cancers and cardiovascular diseases may be associated with a phenomenon known as genomic imprinting, in which only the maternally or paternally inherited gene is active.

All the cells in an organism have the exact same genetic sequence. What differs across cell types is their epigenetics—meticulously placed chemical tags that influence which genes are expressed in ...

Most of the scientists who gathered in Washington earlier this month to talk about human cloning agreed that cloning an entire human being–besides being morally questionable–was fraught with technical ...

Since the turn of the century, circumstantial evidence has accumulated for the role of imprinted genes (those only expressed from one parent) in mental illnesses such as Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) ...

A research team at the University of Würzburg has gained new insights into the development of kidney tumors in young children. These enable a better risk assessment and could form the basis for ...
