PNAS Study of Thyroid Cancer Polygenic Risk Scores; LOF Mutation in Cerebellar Degeneration; More

Mar 03, 2020

An international team of researchers examined how well polygenic risk scores for papillary thyroid cancer predicted risk among three cohorts: one from Ohio, one from the UK, and one from Iceland. Previous genome-wide association studies had identified about 10 SNPs linked to papillary thyroid cancer risk, which the researchers bundled into a PRS.
