Genetic risk prediction for ten chronic diseases moves closer to the clinic
by Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard Credit: CC0 Public DomainBy analyzing millions of small genetic differences across a person’s genome, researchers can calculate a polygenic risk score to estimate someone’s lifetime odds of developing a certain disease. Over the past decade, scientists have developed these risk scores for dozens of diseases, including heart disease, kidney...
