The role of polygenic risk scores in patients with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) may be influenced by telomere length, ...

Over the past decade, behavioural genetics has made great advancements in predicting human behaviour using DNA. By combining millions of genetic variants into polygenic scores (PGS), researchers can ...

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 ...

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 ...

Glaucoma risk can be managed more effectively with the ability to use polygenic risk scores to identify individuals who can benefit from more intense treatment. Glaucoma is an eye condition that can ...

Three out of four U.S. adults support the use of emerging technologies that estimate a future child's likelihood of developing health conditions influenced by multiple genes - such as diabetes, heart ...

A study in Germany found that individuals with higher polygenic risk scores for anhedonia showed specific patterns of brain ...
