A computational framework that enhances existing polygenic risk scores by identifying additional genetic signals linked to disease risk has been developed.

Researchers identified more than 1,000 genetic variants associated with five major personality traits using data from up to 1.1 million people.

Centenarians' children have lower risks of cardiovascular disease and hypertension, suggesting that exceptional longevity and healthy aging run in families.

Researchers analyzed data from more than 3,300 adults and found that type 2 diabetes in lean and overweight African patients arises through different biological mechanisms. The findings support more personalized treatment strategies.

The largest genetic study of fibromyalgia has identified 26 risk-associated genomic regions, with many linked to neural functions. The findings support fibromyalgia as a nervous system disorder and highlight potential targets for future treatments.

A new computational tool has identified 21 new asthma genes that had been missed by traditional methods, helping researchers find new and more effective drug targets.
