A new research paper was published in Volume 16 of Genes & Cancer on January 20, 2025, entitled, "Analysis of pathogenic variants in retinoblastoma reveals a potential gain of function mutation." ...

A new mega-database of half a million mutations may flag new ways of treating genetic disease, scientists say.

Zebrafish with this mutation had poorly developed eye cells, weaker responses to light, and changes in the normal structure of their retinas. These tiny, tropical fish are used as a tool to find ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

The work also provides fundamental insights into the earliest genes that are required to control the development of the eye. This European research consortium identified a mutation in the miR-204 gene ...

When evolution skeptics want to attack Darwin's theory, they often point to the human eye. How could something so complex, they argue, have developed through random mutations and natural selection ...

From iconic historical figures to Hollywood stars - blue eyes have always been 'in'. Yet, few will have guessed they ...

This person lived more than 6,000 years ago and carried a genetic mutation that has now spread across the world. The exact cause remains to be determined, but scientists do know that eye color ...

Seattle doctors developed a blood test that determines the parental origin of the RB1 mutation in retinoblastoma.

THE BIG BAD FLY HAD ONE RED EYE AND ONE BLU EYE. Now, suppose that a mutation eliminates the sixth nucleotide, in this case the letter "G". This deletion means that the letters shift, and the rest ...

Scott Brocato recently spoke with Dr. Claudia Prospero Ponce, a neuro-ophthalmologist and ocular pathologist with Texas Tech ...
