IT SOUNDS too good to be true: a medical test that can detect diseases you may develop decades from now. Suitably forewarned, you can take immediate steps to reduce your risk. This is the promise of ...

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.

Live Science spoke with a bioethicist and sociologist about emerging genomic technologies, including those that enable parents to "score" and "select" IVF embryos.

Higher genetic risk for inflammatory bowel disease is linked to more severe disease and increased risks for hospital stays ...

A polygenic risk score (PRS) is used to predict how likely it is that someone will develop a particular disease, based on the presence of a vast number of tiny variant regions in their genome. The PRS ...

A new study links telomere length and polygenic risk scores to IPF development, highlighting genetic drivers beyond rare variants. The role of polygenic risk scores in patients with idiopathic ...
