Women with endometriosis are twice as likely to have an irritable bowel diagnosis as women without the disease. Scientists identified genes and biological pathways that may be involved in developing both diseases.

A liquid biopsy that identifies cell-free DNA as a marker of cancer could improve cancer detection in patients with Li-Fraumeni syndrome, which carries an almost 100 percent lifetime risk of developing cancer.

Researchers developed a collective intelligence approach to increase the accuracy of medical diagnoses. Their work was recently presented in the journal PNAS.

In a quest for personalized medicine for cancer patients, a distinctive pattern of 17 genes has been associated with remission after chemotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer.

A new study has shown that AI can diagnose skin cancer as well as medical experts, but doctors are superior at making treatment decisions.

Harnessing genomic surveillance technology could help detect the rise of deadly antimicrobial-resistant "superbugs" and slow their evolution and spread.

Scientists have uncovered a group of immune cells that may drive severe asthma. These cells gather in the lungs and appear to possess the molecular weaponry to cause the most harm in men who developed asthma later in life.

Researchers have pinpointed a particular peptide’s role in activating atopic dermatitis, or eczema. The work could lead to more effective treatments for the condition.

To study the link between a person’s genetic risk of blood clots and their use of contraceptive pills, Uppsala researchers investigated data from 244,420 British women from the UK Biobank.

A new study ties COVID-19 infection to an increased risk of a diagnosis of Guillain-Barre syndrome (GBS) within 6 weeks, while mRNA vaccination was linked to a decreased risk of the rare but serious autoimmune disease.
