Type 2 Diabetes Multi-Ancestry GWAS Enables Risk Prediction Across Populations
With data for more than 180,800 cases and some 1.2 million controls, researchers found hundreds of genetic risk loci and developed multi-ancestry risk scores.
HIV Sequencing Study in Netherlands Uncovers Virulent Variant Mutations, History
Along with analyses focused on de novo mutations contributing to virulence and transmissibility, researchers traced the HIV-1 VB variant back to at least the early 1990s.
Hitachi, French Cancer Center Partner on AI-Focused Research
Hitachi and Centre Léon Bérard have opened a research lab in Lyon that will apply AI to medical imaging and predict response to radiation therapy from genomic markers.
PCOS GWAS Points to Consistent Genetic Contributors Across Diagnostic Criteria
A GWAS meta-analysis involving 10,074 PCOS cases revealed three new and 11 known risk loci, along with a relatively consistent genetic architecture among cases.
LincRNA Linked to Risk of Pneumococcal Bloodstream Infection in Kenyan Children
A genome-wide association suggests an African-specific lincRNA allele on chromosome 7 contributes to risk of bloodstream infection by Streptococcus pneumoniae.
