Polygenic risk scores (PRS) combined with clinical factors improve POAG risk prediction, aiding in identifying high-risk patients. The study used OHTS data, showing low polygenic risk correlates with ...

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 ...

There’s a new type of genetic testing known as polygenic embryo screening which promises to identify the risk of developing conditions like cancer, obesity and autism. But researchers are cautious.

The optimism is not unfounded. In specific, well-defined clinical scenarios, polygenic scores are beginning to demonstrate some tangible utility. For cardiovascular disease, MI-GENES, a 10-year follow ...

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 ...

Cost-utility studies provide critical information for the costs and benefits of using any new test, typically building on existing public health and screening programmes, within a defined population.

Polygenic indices related to the best-established social, psychological, and behavioural mortality risk phenotypes had the strongest associations with mortality.

Survey reveals nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults support using emerging technology to screen embryos during IVF for risk of developing certain health conditions or traits that arise from more than ...
