An insightful mini-review published in Genomic Psychiatry synthesizes the rapidly expanding landscape of molecular genetic research on common epilepsies, assembling evidence from genome-wide ...

Over the past decade, behavioural genetics has made great advancements in predicting human behaviour using DNA. By combining millions of genetic variants into polygenic scores (PGS), researchers can ...

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 ...

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 ...

Companies have recently begun to sell a new service to patients considering in vitro fertilization: embryo selection based on polygenic scores (ESPS). These scores represent individualized predictions ...
