Alnylam Pharmaceuticals and collaborators have identified rare mutations in the INHBE gene that is expressed in the liver, related to a lower waist-to-hip ratio for body mass index (BMI), which is often used as an indicator of abdominal fat and is correlated with the risk of type 2 diabetes (T2D) and coronary heart disease.

Genomic healthcare data is critical to identify disease risk, ancestry, traits and response to medicines and aids in the development of new targeted therapies – precision medicines. In April 2003, after its launch in October 1990, the project was completed, generating the first sequence of the human genome. The origins .

A study by the Qatar Genome Research Consortium, led by Dr Lotfi Chouchane from Weill Cornell Medicine-Qatar, has reported the first landscape of cancer germline mutations – hereditary mutations – in the Qatari population. . The post Qatar Genome Programme data improves cancer screening appeared first on Drug Discovery World (DDW).

Breakthroughs in gene therapy are only possible with an exact understanding of the genetic underpinnings of disease. To develop safe and effective gene therapies, researchers need confidence that genomic data is both complete and accurate. Could you explain the differences between short-read and long-read sequencing? .

The cost of testing per human genome in 2006 was approximately $14 million , and in less than two decades, an average consumer-purchased genetic test costs $100. The same is becoming true for the healthcare industry, and one of the first major breakthroughs in the area was the 100,000 Genomes Project.

Having a mutation in one copy of either the EGFR and/or KRAS gene isn’t enough to lead to lung cancer. Most cancers follow the double-hit model where a mutation in the second copy of the gene is required for the cancer to form. The Double Hit. The new research shows that air pollutants can be that ‘second hit.’
