Researchers pinpoint genetic factors linked to both higher risk of a common autoimmune disorder and lower cancer risk

This study in the Finnish population reveals genetic reduction of the complement factor CFHR5 as enhancing retinal health and reducing the risk for age-related macular degeneration (AMD), suggesting n...

Studying the genetics of intelligence can help us understand the neurobiology of cognitive function and the aetiology of rare neurodevelopmental conditions. The largest previous genetic studies of int...

A study using iPhones and Apple Watches to track and analyze cognitive health over 18 months in more than 23,000 US adults demonstrates the feasibility of remote cognitive health monitoring and uncovers potential methods for early detection of cognitive decline.

Any variant associated with either numerator or denominator will associate with the ratio in GWAS of sufficient size. Associations with ratio traits are thus not specific to the ratio. Instead, we rec...

Blood biomarkers in a middle-aged population suggest that SARS-CoV-2 infection is associated with greater brain β-amyloid plaque accumulation.

The AI-focused biotech insitro is advancing a new idea to potentially treat ALS, one of the most intractable and brutal diseases. The South San Francisco-based startup has identified a new ...
