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 ...

The results of research by scientists at University College London (UCL), Imperial College London, and the MRC Laboratory of Medical Sciences, indicate that a potentially life-changing heart condition ...

Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are a cutting-edge tool in genetics, combining information from genetic markers across the genome to estimate a person's risk of developing certain diseases, such as ...

Much the way the caps on the ends of a shoelace prevent it from fraying, telomeres — regions of repetitive DNA sequences and a protein structure — protect the tips of chromosomes from damage. Every ...

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 ...

Background The incidence of prostate cancer is increasing. Screening with an assay of prostate-specific antigen (PSA) has a high rate for false positive results. Genomewide association studies have ...
