University of Aberdeen researchers looked at data from 500,000 people around the UK to assess genetic links.

People who give blood regularly are more likely to have genetic changes in their blood that could cut the risk of cancer developing, a study suggests.

A woman born with an extremely rare genetic skin condition has had two healthy children using a cutting-edge genetic testing service.

The team looked for pieces of genetic code that were common in overweight dogs.

They were using genetically engineered mice and found those lacking a specific set of genetic instructions were less likely to get metastatic cancer that had spread.
