The National Human Genome Research Institute and its partners are organizing a social media campaign from June 7-11, 2021, that focuses on healthcare provider genomics education.
News Release
NHGRI researchers are increasingly using artificial intelligence tools to answer compelling questions in genomics, such as predicting rare genetic disorders and their severity, and to understand how genomic information influences decision-making.
News Release
NHGRI researchers have shown that areas of the genome related to brain development harbor variants that may account for behavioral differences among different dog lineages.
News Release
Doctors and researchers reunite with patient who received gene therapy for GM1 gangliosidosis.

David Bodine, founder of the Hematopoiesis Section and chief of the Genetics and Molecular Biology Branch, advanced the fields of gene therapy and hematology in his 38 years at the NIH. Now, he plans to continue his contributions to science as an emeritus and through training the next generation of scientists.
News Release
NIH researchers have successfully identified differences in gene activity in the brains of people with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). The study, led by scientists at the National Human Genome Research Institute (NHGRI), found that individuals diagnosed with ADHD had differences in genes that code for known chemicals that brain cells use to communicate.

NHGRI researchers recently published a study using virtual reality simulations to investigate how clinicians might use a type of genomic risk information called polygenic risk scores in medical care.
Event
The 2020 - 2022 Class of ISCC-PEG Scholars provided virtual presentations of the genomics education projects in which they were involved during their two years of participation in the program. Their ISCC-PEG Mentors provided introductions.

Dr. Joan Bailey-Wilson, who retired in September 2022, looks back on her 42-year career as a scientist and reflects on the rapid growth of the genomics field.
News Release
NHGRI researchers have discovered clues to the possible cause of recurring, non-contagious fevers and sores that affect only children. Several genes have been implicated with the syndrome, known as PFAPA syndrome (Periodic Fever, Aphthous Stomatitis, Pharyngitis, Adenitis), which could lead to new treatments.
