An international collective of researchers is delivering new insights into why having multiple psychiatric disorders is the norm rather than the exception. In a study published today in the journal ...

A "genomic-first" approach to screening for rare genetic disorders—identifying specific genetic variants and then studying associated traits and symptoms—can identify these conditions earlier and more ...

Researchers have uncovered shared genetic pathways that link multiple psychiatric disorders. These new findings have the potential to change the way psychiatric disorders are diagnosed and treated, ...

Scientists at the University of California San Diego have uncovered how genetic mutations cause a rare group of inherited neuromuscular disorders and identified promising new strategies to correct ...

Genome-wide association studies identify genetic overlap among disorders, providing evidence that their distinctions may be misleading One major difference between psychiatric disorders and purely ...

Distinct psychiatric disorders have more in common biologically than previously believed, according to the largest and most detailed analysis to date of how genes influence mental illness. The study, ...

At the genomic level, the researchers identified over 100 regions of the genome where genetic variants influence multiple disorders simultaneously. One region on chromosome 11 stood out as a "hotspot, ...

New research helps explain why disease-associated genetic variants can lead to variable clinical outcomes, influenced both by the patterns of secondary variants, or genetic background, and by how ...

RICHMOND, Virginia, UNITED STATES, 3 March 2026 -- A sweeping new peer-reviewed study published in Genomic Psychiatry has introduced a concept that could reshape how psychiatrists and geneticists ...

"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 ...
