New Risk Loci for Rare Neurodegenerative Disorder Emerge From Genome Sequencing Study
Using a combination of genomic approaches, researchers found genetic contributors to an understudied synucleinopathy condition called multiple system atrophy.
The researchers found the platform performed well in these areas, though as a SomaScan user noted, the system's specificity remains a question mark for some.
Longevity Genetics Influenced by Age, Sex in Mouse Study
Starting with genetic and other data for thousands of heterogenous mice, investigators identified longevity mediators ranging from body and litter size to age and biological sex.
Researchers at NIH’s newly established Center for Alzheimer's and Related Dementias are using nanopore sequencing to analyze thousands of brain samples.
University of Miami, Collaborators Win $46M NIH Grant for Alzheimer's Disease Genetic Study
The study, funded by the National Institute on Aging, aims to examine the genetics of Alzheimer's disease in people of Hispanic and African ancestry.
