A groundbreaking study explores the overlooked X-chromosome’s role in Alzheimer’s disease, revealing seven genetic loci ...
Now, two studies have finally identified the genetic key to this mystery, solving a puzzle first theorized in 1912. The studies, conducted independently by Japanese and American research teams, have ...

Normally used to identify chromosomal abnormalities, the test could help detect cancer in people who otherwise have no reason ...
Females usually have two X chromosomes, while males tend to have one X and one Y chromosome. But research suggests that the Y chromosome has been rapidly degenerating over the course of our evolution.
Tumors and other cancers can shed DNA into the bloodstream, distorting the ratios. Sometimes this can lead to alarming ...
“This work is really important because the X chromosome has largely been excluded from genetic studies in the past,” said Amy Roberts, a molecular epidemiologist at King’s College London who was not ...
