Genetic analysis of psoriasis shows somatic mutations are not linked to the development or the spread of the condition. Psoriasis -- a chronic skin condition -- is not caused or spread by spontaneous ...

DNA mutates regularly, for better or worse, driving both evolution and disease. Researchers at the University of Surrey have now found evidence that some of these spontaneous mutations could be caused ...

All people have two copies of every gene – one copy inherited from each parent. The NF1 gene mutation is dominant, which means that only one of the two copies of the gene needs to have the mutation to ...

Psoriasis — a chronic skin condition — is not caused or spread by spontaneous genetic mutations in the skin, new research suggests. The team, from the Wellcome Sanger Institute and collaborators, ...
