RAS co-mutation and early onset disease represent an aggressive phenotype of atypical (non-V600) BRAF mutant metastatic colorectal cancer. Biweekly mXELIRI versus FOLFIRI in combination with ...

Codon-specific KRAS mutations are predictive of an overall survival (OS) benefit for metastatic colorectal cancer (mCRC) patients treated with trifluridine-tipiracil (FTD/TPI; Lonsurf), according to a ...

Genetic disorders — like cystic fibrosis and Huntington’s disease — are considered incurable, with gene mutations occurring in essentially every cell of the body. Gene mutations occur when one ...

Synonymous mutations have long been ignored in cancer studies since they don’t affect the amino acid sequences of proteins. But research increasingly reveals that they can have disease-driving effects ...

For disorders driven by a known genetic component, research understandably focuses on developing a drug targeting that genetic signature. When that works, the outcome benefits patients but the end ...

This study offers important insight into the pathogenic basis of intragenic frameshift deletions in the carboxy-terminal domain of MECP2, which account for some Rett syndrome cases, yet similar ...

NASHVILLE — Thoroughbred racehorses are biological marvels that consume oxygen at astonishing rates, more than double what elite human athletes can manage. During intense exercise, these animals ...

How did horses become some of the greatest athletes in the animal kingdom? Researchers at Johns Hopkins Medicine may have found the answer, pinpointing a genetic mutation and evolutionary process that ...
