Swedish researchers have identified genetic variants that increase the risk of atherosclerosis. The aim is for these new findings to enable earlier detection of atherosclerosis and improved treatment ...
Researchers at the University of California San Diego have completed a massive genetic study that identifies key biological ...
An international collaboration of genetic researchers has identified more than 90 genetic regions associated with the risk of ...
Researchers led by Min Zhang and Dabao Zhang of the University of California, Irvine's Joe C. Wen School of Population & Public Health have created the most detailed maps to date showing how genes ...
For decades, geneticists have known that most common illnesses are not caused by a single rogue gene but by intricate constellations of DNA variants acting together in specific cells. Now a new ...
The ability of different genetic variants—changes to one or more building blocks of DNA—to cause disease, and to what extent, has historically been opaque. Geneticist and Crick group leader Greg ...
There's a glaring gap in our knowledge of cell metabolism: in many cases, we still don't know exactly how nutrients are transported into the cell. Without that understanding, it's extremely difficult, ...
General introduction to the estimation of genetic risks -- Mendelian risk -- Risk modified by reproductive history -- Risk based upon phenotype -- Risk based upon genotype -- Familial versus new ...
