Sequencing Leads to Diagnoses in Significant Subset of Immune Conditions in NIAID Program
In the first 1,000 families tested through a sequencing-based program at the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, researchers diagnosed almost a third of cases.
Genetic Study of Skin Pigmentation in African Americans Uncovers Links to Vitamin D Deficiency
Starting with a genome-wide association study focused on skin pigmentation, investigators identified genetic variants with additional ties to vitamin D levels.
The Dutch bioinformatics firm's ImmunoGenomiX technology platform is helping researchers develop therapies for COVID-19 as well as for cancer.
The firm aims to launch an early-access program by the end of the year, followed by a second white paper before the JP Morgan Healthcare Conference in January.
Autoimmunity Insights Gleaned From GWAS of Immune Cell Traits
A genome-wide association study focused on hundreds of immune cell features identified genetic risk variants involved in several autoimmune conditions.
