What types of genetic mutations exist?
DNA acts as the organism's instruction manual, encoding the information necessary for protein synthesis (translation) and the regulation of cellular functions. However, this code can undergo alterations, known as mutations, which vary in their impact: from being clinically silent to triggering serious diseases. Discover the main types of mutations [...]
Advances in the molecular understanding of aggressive breast cancer
Breast cancer represents the most important neoplasm in women, representing up to 15% of global cancer deaths [Globocan, 2020] Figure 1. Molecular studies have made it possible to advance in the understanding of how the development of this neoplasia works and the contribution of genetic mutations in aggressiveness, severity and progression […]
The universal man
A story about genetic variations in the population. The title gives its name to an idea developed by ADNTRO and which has two important objectives; firstly to help you to know how different your genotype is from the population average (in this case using 1000 genotypes to compare - with a [...]
