Polygenic risk scores (PRSs) are estimates of an individual's susceptibility to a specific complex trait obtained by aggregating the effects of dozens, thousands, and potentially millions of genetic ...

Three out of four U.S. adults support the use of emerging technologies that estimate a future child's likelihood of developing health conditions influenced by multiple genes - such as diabetes, heart ...

Cancer is challenging to treat, yet identifying individuals with greater risk of developing disease can assist with early detection and increased treatment efficacy. There are several types of risk ...
