Uterine Leiomyoma Risk Linked to Inherited SRCAP Complex Mutations
After identifying uterine leiomyoma-associated germline variants in SRCAP complex genes in UK Biobank participants, researchers tracked down similar risk variants in Finnish individuals.
Study Traces Maternal Impacts on Developing Infant Gut Microbe, Metabolite Features
Researchers identified horizontal gene transfer between maternal and infant microbiomes, as well as other factors contributing to infant gut microbiome development.
Genetic Risk Factors for Disease Contribute to Decrease in Healthy Life Years
A team led by researchers at the University of Helsinki examined the contribution of rare and common genetic variants to changes in disability-adjusted life years.
New COVID-19 Genetic Risk Loci Discovered in Cross-Ancestry GWAS Meta-Analysis
Researchers tracked down new and known loci with ties to disease susceptibility or severity using data for more than 125,000 COVID-19 cases and 2.5 million controls.
Domestic Cat Study Traces Genetic Diversity, Disease Risk Across Breeds
With genotyping data for 11,036 pedigreed or non-pedigreed domestic cats, researchers looked at variation and allele frequencies for disease-, blood type-, or trait-related variants.
