Using twin data from TEDS, researchers compared polygenic score prediction within families and across the population. They found that about half of predictive power for cognitive and educational ...

Hypermobile Ehlers–Danlos syndrome (hEDS) is one of the most common heritable connective tissue disorders. Early estimates have reported that this genetic disorder affects at least one in 5,000 ...

Genetic tests claiming to predict a future child's traits, such as intelligence or height, offer minimal benefits with significant risks. These tests, prevalent in the U.S., lack accurate predictive ...

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

A polygenic risk score was able to detect a high proportion of clinically significant prostate cancer. Cancer would not have been detected in 71.8% of patients with the use of PSA or MRI screening.

Over a century after Mendel established the foundations of inheritance, genomics has revealed that most human traits and common diseases arise from the ...
