Aortic Aneurysm Risk Affected by Genetic Variants Linked to Artery Diameter
Using data from the UK Biobank, researchers developed a polygenic risk score that could predict thoracic aortic aneurysm risk across several populations.
Intracranial Aneurysm Genetic Risk Loci Identified in European, East Asian GWAS
A two-stage genome-wide association study and meta-analysis highlighted 11 novel and six known risk loci and made it possible to dig into the biology of intracranial aneurysm.
Machine-Learning Approach Predicts Abdominal Aortic Aneurysm Risk From Genomic Data
The framework, called HEAL, could be used as an early screening test for AAA and as a personal health management tool. In addition, it may be applicable to other complex diseases.
Direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies have based their products on what scientists have accomplished, but the caveat is that the science is still in its early days.
