COVID-19 Genetic Analysis Leads to Host Blood Proteins Suspected of Influencing Disease Outcomes
Using Mendelian randomization and available genome-wide association data, researchers found blood proteins that may serve as markers for severe COVID-19 or protection against it.
Acne GWAS Uncovers New Risk Loci, Overlap With Other Conditions
A genome-wide association study involving more than 20,000 acne cases and almost 600,000 controls led to new risk loci and a polygenic risk score.
Called Personal Access to Genome and Analysis of Natural Traits, or PAGEANT, the platform enables users to analyze and interpret their genomic data at no cost.
