For the first time, scientists have identified genetic variants that increase the risk of aneuploidy, in which cells have an ...

Human egg cells are often prone to chromosomal errors. As women age, the error rate increases sharply — and can contribute to infertility, pregnancy loss, and ...

A new study found that higher levels of THC was linked to significant chromosomal abnormalities in embryos Getty A new study found that higher levels of THC were linked to significant chromosomal ...

An AI tool identifies cells that can shed light on the earliest origins of cancer through a game of molecular ‘laser tag’. The human body relies on precise genetic instructions to function, and cancer ...

Study led by St. Jude Children's Research Hospital investigators expands understanding of acute lymphoblastic leukemia in children with Down syndrome, fueling hope for new treatment Researchers ...

“Therefore, EDA and aneuploidy rates represent two independent factors in determining the number of euploid embryos available for transfer and the overall likelihood of ART success.” “Therefore, EDA ...

I still recall my disappointment one day in 2015. I received the tumor DNA sequencing results for one of my patients, whose cancer had spread from her lungs to her brain. I saw not a single genetic ...

Researchers have developed a new prenatal test that can determine if a fetus or embryo has the right number of chromosomes at a fraction of the time, cost of other genetic tests. A new prenatal test ...

Translocations, in genetics, happen when chromosomes break and the pieces attach to other chromosomes. This mixing of genetic material has important results. The resultant chromosomes are lacking in ...
