Epilepsy is not one disease. It is a constellation of seizure disorders that affects approximately 50 million people globally and carries increased mortality, psychiatric comorbidity, and, for roughly ...

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) combined with clinical factors improve POAG risk prediction, aiding in identifying high-risk patients. The study used OHTS data, showing low polygenic risk correlates with ...

The optimism is not unfounded. In specific, well-defined clinical scenarios, polygenic scores are beginning to demonstrate some tangible utility. For cardiovascular disease, MI-GENES, a 10-year follow ...

Cost-utility studies provide critical information for the costs and benefits of using any new test, typically building on existing public health and screening programmes, within a defined population.

Survey reveals nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults support using emerging technology to screen embryos during IVF for risk of developing certain health conditions or traits that arise from more than ...

Telomere length and polygenic risk scores (PRS) are linked to idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) risk, especially in noncarriers of rare genetic variants. The study identified rare damaging variants ...
