A multi-ancestry polygenic risk score could help health care professionals predict a person’s risk for developing obesity later in life, researchers reported in a study published in Nature ...

“This new polygenic score is a dramatic improvement in predictive power and a leap forward in the genetic prediction of obesity risk, which brings us much closer to clinically useful genetic ...

New genetic research reveals polygenic scores can predict obesity risk, offering early prevention insights while raising ethical healthcare access concerns.

Cost-effectiveness studies of polygenic scores in different healthcare settings are emerging in the literature. A recent systematic review of economic evaluations of polygenic scores explored the ...

Polygenic risk scores: Would you test to find out your risk of a disease? Registered nurse and mother-of-three Anna Wilson, 45, now has regular colonoscopies and other screenings.

A recent study in Nature Medicine developed ancestry-specific and multi-ancestry polygenic scores (PGSs) for early prevention and targeted treatment of obesity. Researchers highlighted that PGSs ...

Polygenic risk scores (PRS) analyse the combined effects of multiple genes to predict a person’s likelihood of developing health conditions, such as cancers, heart disease, diabetes, and glaucoma.
