Attorneys are now using the "don't blame me, blame my genes" defense with convicted criminals, and guess what? It's working.*There is an interesting new study out that proves criminals who are diagnosed as psychopaths with a specific gene mutation actually end up getting shorter jail sentences...
Scientists at A*STAR's Institute of Medical Biology (IMB), in collaboration with doctors and scientists in Jordan, Turkey, Switzerland and USA, have identified the genetic cause of a birth defect known as Hamamy syndrome[1]. Their groundbreaking findings were published in the prestigious journal...
why won't gm back up their vent valve defect? My tahoe is under 2 years old and I have to have that thing replaced about as often as I have the oil changed. They are telling me I need to put a $600 "kit" in and have the valve relocated to under my hood. Why won't GM take care of this?! IT's...
UNC researchers have discovered how the genetic defect underlying one of the most common congenital heart diseases keeps the critical organ from developing properly. According to the new research, mutations in a gene called SHP-2 distort the shape of cardiac muscle cells so they are unable to...
My Brother and I figured out that the man we thought was our "real father" wasn't, and that our biological father didn't care about us when we were born, so the man who takes care of us does.
There has been a few times where our father was drunk and he'd pick up one of us by our ankles and hit...
Researchers from VIB (Flanders Institute for Biotechnology) and Ghent University have shown that a defective gene can contribute to the onset of rheumatoid arthritis, an often-crippling inflammation of the joints that afflicts about 1% of the world's population. Until now, the underlying...
