By Hugo Francisco de Souza Rare genetic variants in a little-studied nicotine receptor subunit are linked to markedly lower ...
A variant in the IL-7 gene may predict which patients with kidney cancer are more likely to experience side effects from immunotherapy. A gene linked to immune system function may help predict which ...
Variants in a nicotine receptor gene are associated with a lower likelihood of heavy smoking, according to a study published ...
The variant of the CHRNB3 gene, involved in the regulation of the substance, is starting to be considered as a possible ...
Rapidly testing hundreds of thousands of DNA sequences, scientists identified specific genetic variations contributing to blood pressure, cholesterol, and blood sugar.
An international team led by a University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine scientist has created a first-of-its-kind resource to identify those with a genetic risk for elevated "bad" cholesterol—a ...
