Aniridia is caused by mutations in the PAX6 gene. This gene plays an important role in forming tissues and organs during an embryo's development. Your baby's eye color is determined by genetics.

They injected their editing tools into the eyes of mutation-carrying mice and analyzed gene editing via sequencing. They found that the mutation was corrected in both light-sensing photoreceptor cells ...

Researchers at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) have found that reserpine, a drug no longer used for blood pressure ...

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 ...

It turns out the unique color is caused by a recessive genetic mutation, rather than the expression of a gene known to turn cats white. The pretty black, white, and grey shade—named for a ...

New studies in rats suggest the drug reserpine, approved in 1955 for high blood pressure, might treat the blinding disease retinitis pigmentosa.

A team of researchers has used advanced DNA sequencing to develop the most comprehensive atlas yet of genetic change through generations, laying the foundations for new insights into the roots of ...
