Risk for ASD is strongly genetically influenced and reflects several types of genetic variation 1,2,3,4,5,6,7. Common polygenic variation, distributed across the genome, accounts for at least 20% of ...

In “What We Inherit,” Sam Trejo and Daphne O. Martschenko examine the link between genetic myths and social genomics.

Opinions differ as to the value of genetic information in the form of polygenic scores and the usefulness of polygenic score analysis as part of routine healthcare – clinical utility. Views on ...

Polygenic indices related to the best-established social, psychological, and behavioural mortality risk phenotypes had the strongest associations with mortality.

Advances in genetics have made it possible to analyze thousands of genes at once, producing scores that estimate disease risk with high precision. But are polygenic risk scores ready to transform ...

Polygenic scores aim to measure the cumulative effect of multiple genetic variants to make predictions about a person’s health. The most likely areas of potential use are in risk prediction, including ...

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 ...
