Multiomic Study Points to New Colorectal Cancer Risk Contributors
Researchers tracked down more than 100 new risk variants with a combination of genomic, transcriptomic, and methylation analyses, highlighting new and known risk pathways.
Dyslexia GWAS Leads to Dozens of Risk Loci, Polygenic Risk Score
A genome-wide association study that included more than a million cases or controls led to 42 genetic risk loci for dyslexia, along with a polygenic risk score.
New Approach Improves Estimating Cancer Risk From Age-Related Clonal Hematopoiesis
A team at the University of Edinburgh hypothesized that cancer risk associated with CHIP could be determined by examining the clonal fitness of stem cells over time.
Whole-Genome Sequencing IDs New Host Genetic Variants Associated With Severe COVID-19
The variants uncovered by the Genetics of Mortality in Critical Care (GenOMICC) consortium could point to new therapeutic targets to treat COVID-19.
The company believes its apheresis-based device can enhance emerging liquid biopsy methods, allowing them to detect cancer DNA fragments in larger numbers of individuals.
