Inherited Disease

Charles Sanders, PhD, and colleagues show how a “supertrafficking” mutant potassium channel contributes to heart rhythm abnormalities. Read More

A computational method that uses hospital billing codes and electronic health records can identify genetic disease cases before clinical teams do. Read More

A particular neuronal cell population is involved in the pathogenesis of a rare neurological disorder, Vanderbilt researchers have discovered. Read More

A zebrafish model of a severe mitochondrial disease will be useful for developing new therapeutic approaches. Read More

An inherited lung disease does not appear to have earlier onset and increased severity – a phenomenon called genetic anticipation – in successive generations. Read More

New findings from Vanderbilt researchers may explain why only some individuals who have inherited mutations that increase risk for pulmonary hypertension actually develop the disease. Read More
