According to estimates, one in every 15,000 babies will be born with PCD, a condition that causes organs to develop on the wrong side of the body. A recent research from Israel has discovered a mutation that may be the cause for the condition.

Until now, discovering genetic mutations in humans required full gene sequencing. However, a new method developed at Hadassah Medical Center can reveal harmful mutations that indicate women at high risk of developing breast cancer.

Israeli researchers from the Technion found five genes that can predict Parkinson's disease. The findings could help identify high-risk patients before the onset of symptoms, thus allowing preventative treatments that can slow disease progression.
