In a groundbreaking study conducted by scientists from the Translational Genomics Research Institute (TGen), 11 diverse polygenic longevity scores (PLS) have been formulated using data from four studies that link genetic variants to lifespan. These scores have the remarkable ability to not only predict long life but also denote resistance to certain age-related ailments including
The correlation between a mother’s diet during pregnancy and the development of her offspring has always been a topic of interest among researchers. An international team of researchers recently conducted a study that explores how the amount of protein consumed by pregnant women can affect the facial development of their unborn children. This study sheds
In a groundbreaking new study, researchers from the Wellcome Sanger Institute, along with collaborators from the University of Exeter and the University of Cambridge, have made significant strides in simplifying the process of diagnosing rare developmental disorders in children. By reassessing genetic data from nearly 10,000 families, they have demonstrated that a single genetic test,
