Motor neuron diseases, such as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and hereditary spastic paraplegia (HSP), share physical ...

An international team led by Monash University researchers has uncovered the genetic code governing the way genetic mutations affect mRNA and result in disease.

"It's a slow-moving train wreck," Mike Graglia says about his 12-year-old son Tony's rare genetic disease with no cure. Caused by a tiny fluke of nature—a mutation in a gene known as a SYNGAP1—the non ...
