Genetic testing can help doctors diagnose some neurological disorders, such as Huntington’s disease. It can also provide insights into a person’s risk of future health conditions. Genetic testing ...

A seminal study has uncovered a new genetic cause of neurodevelopmental disorders (NDDs). The discovery offers both closure and hope to potentially thousands of families worldwide who have long been ...

Using multiple cutting-edge genomic methods, the researchers examined how genetic variation is distributed across disorders, cell types, and biological pathways. Five core genetic dimensions of mental ...

The emergence of neuropsychiatric disorders, conditions that affect various brain functions and behaviors, is known to be driven by an intricate combination of factors. These can include both a ...

In a genetic association study, investigators integrated data from genome-wide association studies of various disorders with retinal transcriptomic data. Findings revealed that the polygenic risk of ...

Lissencephaly is a spectrum of rare, genetic disorders in which the brain fails to develop its hallmark folds. The disorders are often associated with seizures and intellectual disability and ...

Researchers have demonstrated a specific type of genetic variation in obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) for the first time using advanced DNA sequencing technology. The findings support previous ...

Somewhere between 50,000 and 60,000 years ago, the ancestors of modern East Asians interbred with Neanderthals and Denisovans ...
