Researchers identified over 400 genetic variants linked to autoimmune hypothyroidism, separating immune and thyroid-specific ...

CRISPR promises revolutionary cures, but its edits aren’t always perfect. To tackle hidden risks, UC San Diego researchers developed the ICP system, which fingerprints genetic edits and shows how they ...

Genome-wide association studies have great potential for advancing our understanding of the genetic background of diseases, but so far, few association studies have focused on maternal and newborn ...

General introduction to the estimation of genetic risks -- Mendelian risk -- Risk modified by reproductive history -- Risk based upon phenotype -- Risk based upon genotype -- Familial versus new ...

Genetic testing is rapidly moving genomics from a niche specialty to becoming more integrated into mainstream clinical practice. Once deployed primarily to diagnose rare and inherited conditions after ...

In two new studies on 28,000 individuals, researchers are able to show that genetic variants in 11 regions of the human genome have a clear influence on which bacteria are in the gut and what they do ...
