New Scan Tracks Heart Motion to Predict Disease Risk Better
This observational cohort study abstract analyzes UK Biobank participants to assess dynamic cardiac shape associations with incident cardiom…
How your heart moves during a beat predicts future disease risk better than just measuring its size on a standard scan.
Case Report and Commentary on PALM3 Variants in Autosomal Recessive Hearing Loss Families
Gene Linked to Inherited Hearing Loss Found in Family Study
This publication combines a case report and commentary regarding a consanguineous family with autosomal recessive, non-syndromic hearing los…

Modeling Study Estimates Polygenic Embryo Screening Risk Reductions in IVF Patients and Egg Donors
New IVF Screening Tool Shows Far Less Benefit Than Promised
This research article presents a modeling study evaluating hypothetical polygenic embryo screening in IVF patients and egg donors.
Real-world IVF struggles make genetic screening far less effective than predicted for lowering future disease risk in children.
Genomic and proteomic investigation suggests genetic liability to smoking initiation may protect against Parkinson disease
Could genes tied to smoking start help protect against Parkinson disease?
This genomic and proteomic investigation explores genetic links between smoking traits and Parkinson disease.
Genes linked to starting smoking may lower Parkinson disease risk, pointing to new smoke-free treatment targets without encouraging the harm…
Polygenic risk scores for coronary artery disease capture 10.8% to 33.1% of benchmark patients in early-onset CAD cohort
New Test Finds Hidden Heart Risk in Healthy People
This observational cohort study evaluated polygenic risk scores (PRSs) for coronary artery disease in 1,184 early-onset patients with low 10…
A new way to test genetic heart risk shows current scores often miss people who need help.
