Research at NHGRI
The Genetic Disease Research Branch studies how genetic changes affect the structure and function of gene products leading to human disease.
Talking Glossary
A cancer-susceptibility gene is a gene that, when changed (or mutated), gives an individual an increased risk for developing cancer
Policy Issues
Most ethical discussions about genome editing center on human germline editing because changes are passed down to future generations.
