Taiwan Biobank GWAS Analyses Lead to Hundreds of New Quantitative Trait Loci
Researchers searched for genetic contributors to 36 quantitative traits in Taiwan Biobank participants, comparing results to biobank data from Japan and the UK.
Genetic Factors May Help Explain Link Between Screen Time, Psychiatric Problems in Children
With data for nearly 4,300 children from the Adolescent Brain Cognitive Development Study, researchers uncovered genetic confounding between screen time and psychiatric traits.
The GenoVA study will follow participants for two years, comparing time to diagnosis and diagnostic test use between patients with and without PRS-informed care.
A new study has found that common metrics used to evaluate PRS may overstate the scores' performance, as clinically focused metrics show more modest results.
Mexican Population Studies Provide Ancestry, Complex Trait Clues
Teams teased out ancestry, allele frequency, imputation, and genetic risk variant profiles for populations using data from the Mexican Biobank and Mexico City Prospective Study.
