The saying "cold hands, warm heart" is usually meant metaphorically—but new research from UC Davis School of Medicine and ...

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich — There is a rare gene mutation linked to sudden cardiac death and heart failure called phospholamban (PLN). It may not be very common worldwide, but likely more so in West Michigan ...

Without 8 or 9 hours of sleep, most of us end up staggering around like zombies. But according to a new study, some people have a genetic mutation that makes them feel perfectly alive after sleeping ...

Among the most challenging are mutations in KEAP1 and STK11, which are frequently associated with a "cold" tumor ...
