Eye Color GWAS Leads to 50 New Loci, Underscoring Trait's Complexity
A genome-wide association study in almost 193,000 Europeans led to 61 eye color-related loci, some of which also influence iris pigmentation of Asian individuals.
Host Genetic, Environmental Factors Influence Composition of Urinary Tract Microbiome
Researchers analyzed the urinary tract microbiomes of 1,600 older women to find it is distinct from the microbiomes of nearby body sites.
Refractive Error GWAS Leads To More Than 300 New Loci
Using data for more than half a million individuals, researchers identified 449 refractive area-related loci, including 336 sites not linked to the eye condition in the past.
Blood Vitamin D Levels Tied to Dozens of Genetic Variants in UK Biobank GWAS
A large genome-wide association study that included more than 400,000 UK Biobank participants led to 69 new or known loci associated with 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels.
After comparing manual methods with the firm's pcr.ai tool in more than 20,000 cases, they found that the use of AI improved test accuracy and reliability.
