The team genetically arrested germline differentiation at discrete stages in turquoise killifish and meticulously examined the impact of different infertility "flavors" on life history. A ...

Germline testing for men with prostate cancer (PCa) poses numerous implementation barriers. Alternative models of care delivery are emerging, but implementation outcomes are understudied. We evaluated ...

Association between type of BRCA1/2 pathogenic/likely pathogenic variants and outcome in young patients with breast cancer: Results from an international cohort study. This is an ASCO Meeting Abstract ...

While adherence to germline testing has been found to be low, one expert explained why tests findings could matter to patients. Undergoing germline testing is of particular importance for patients ...

Every cell in an organism carries an identical set of genetic instructions within its DNA. However, what determines whether a cell develops as a neuron, a muscle, or any other specific cell type lies ...

I don't remember the first time I heard the word "germline," but I do remember when it became a major part of my life. I’m not sure when I first heard the term "germline." I’ve always been a bit of a ...
