Superman syndrome, also known as 47, XYY, is a condition classified as a chromosomal aneuploidy (which is an abnormality in chromosome structure and/or number) in which males have an additional Y ...

Nucleus Genomics has been courting controversy for years with products that claim to tell people how their genetics correlate to a host of complex issues, including their IQ.

A new paper published in Nature on June 4 shines light on how an enigmatic part of male aging—the loss of Y chromosomes—is connected with a higher risk of dying from cancer.. In an analysis of ...

The loss of the Y chromosome in tumour cells is linked to poor outcomes for people with cancer 1, but this genetic alteration might also compromise immune cells that would otherwise fight the ...

The cancer cells of some men feature a striking mutation: their Y chromosome is missing altogether. Now, tantalizing research suggests that this mutation can spread ‘contagiously’ from tumour ...

When cancer cells in male patients and immune cells in their tumors both lose the Y chromosome, those patients tend to experience poorer outcomes than patients without Y chromosome loss, according ...

Replication, segregation, gene expression, and inheritance are essential features of all eukaryotic chromosomes. To delineate the extent of conservation of chromosome functions between humans and ...

Leaked medical report states controversial Olympic boxer has 'male' chromosomes. This latest revelation contradicts the claims of IOC spokesman Mark Adams. Author of the article: ...

Opus Genetics has released positive topline results from LYNX-2, its phase 3 clinical trial evaluating phentolamine ophthalmic solution 0.75% for the treatment of chronic night driving impairment in ...

Centromeres, specialized regions located at the center of chromosomes, are critical for ensuring proper cell division. During mitosis, centromeres serve as assembly sites for complex protein ...

Genetics might save the rare, elusive saola — if it’s not already extinct. Environmental DNA could help scientists search for the large deerlike mammals in Southeast Asia.

KS can manifest in a classical form, which is present in 80–90% of cases, which is defined by a 47, XXY karyotype resulting from the aneuploidy of the sex chromosomes, whereas higher-grade ...
