New genetic research shows a simple genetic test can predict who’s most at risk for obesity, offering hope for early prevention, but also raises tough questions about genetic fairness and healthcare ...

“What makes the score so powerful is its ability to predict, before the age of five, whether a child is likely to develop obesity in adulthood, well before other risk factors start to shape their ...

A new study links telomere length and polygenic risk scores to IPF development, highlighting genetic drivers beyond rare variants. The role of polygenic risk scores in patients with idiopathic ...

The new tool could help predict obesity-related health risks earlier and reshape prevention strategies, researchers say. The post MGB researchers just developed a new risk calculator for obesity. Here ...

Incorporating a polygenic risk score into prostate cancer screening could enhance the detection of clinically significant prostate cancer that conventional screening may miss, according to results of ...

A polygenic risk score was able to detect a high proportion of clinically significant prostate cancer. Cancer would not have been detected in 71.8% of patients with the use of PSA or MRI screening.
