DLGAP5 is proposed as a causal gene related to oocyte meiosis disorder for the first time. It expanded the current spectrum of pathogenic genes responsible for the phenotype of oocyte maturation and ...

The Center for Health, Ethics, Law and Development has reiterated that female genital mutilation has no medical benefit and constitutes a serious violation of human rights, urging stronger enforcement ...

A study published in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences by scientists from Israel and Ghana shows that an evolutionarily significant mutation in the human APOL1 gene arises not ...

Researchers estimate that each individual human inherits some 60 genetic mutations not found in either parent—an average of one mutation for every 100 million nucleotides. Previous estimates of human ...

Scientists have revealed parts of the genome that are especially vulnerable to mutations that occur very early on in development. These areas are in the initial portions of genes, where the cell tends ...
