Scientists discover new genetic disease that causes premature aging and cognitive deficits
Scientists at Sanford Burnham Prebys Medical Discovery Institute have discovered a new genetic disease that causes premature aging and cognitive deficits. The disease is linked to a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene, which affects cellular growth and causes DNA damage.
Researchers have identified a new genetic disease that causes premature aging and cognitive deficits. The disease is linked to a mutation in the IVNS1ABP gene. Scientists used genome sequencing and cellular reprogramming to study the disease. They found that the mutation affects cellular growth and causes DNA damage. The disease was discovered in a family of patients with symptoms including whitening hair and cognitive deficits. The researchers' findings were published on March 19, 2026, in Nature Communications.
