Scientists have corrected gene mutations in mice causing an ultra-rare disease by editing DNA directly in the brain with a single injection, a feat with profound implications for patients with ...

A new study has found a rare genetic mutation that allows some of us to get only a few short hours of sleep and wake up feeling fully rested and wide awake.

Some lucky people have rare genetic mutations that enable them to feel well-rested after just four hours of sleep, while the rest of us need around eight hours to function. Now, researchers have ...

Researchers identified a new genetic mutation that may allow some people to survive, even thrive, on three hours of sleep. The mutation is called SIK3-N783Y. Scientists said mice test subjects ...

Researchers have identified specific genes containing rare mutations that significantly increase the likelihood of developing attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. These findings, published in the ...

A genetic mutation found in two human patients with schizophrenia also increased schizophrenia-related behaviors in mice with the same mutation, a rare finding of a direct genetic link to psychosis, ...

A rare breed of hunting dogs known for its forked nose, the Turkish Pointer, might just help scientists better understand why human babies are sometimes born with facial clefts. In a recent study, ...
