Using genomics to predict disease risk

Visitors are invited to explore galleries highlighting key discoveries and transformative insights in biomedicine.

By integrating genomic data from different ancestries, PRS-CSx reduces bias in risk-predicting polygenic scores.

Studies document extent to which common and rare genetic variants work in concert to shape blood traits and disease risk

In people with a single-gene variant that puts them at high risk for heart disease, breast cancer, or colorectal cancer, the rest of the genome can alter that risk.

A large genetic study of venous thromboembolism could lead to better ways of identifying and treating people at high risk for the disease.

New partnership will expand power of polygenic risk scores to help clinicians predict and prevent disease
