New approach successfully traces genomic variants back to genetic disorders

Medical Xpress

National Institutes of Health researchers have published an assessment of 13 studies that took a genotype-first approach to patient care. This approach contrasts with the typical phenotype-first approach to clinical research, which starts with clinical findings.

Inferring human genomes at a fraction of the cost promises to boost biomedical research

Scienmag

To discover these associations, researchers need to compare the genomes of many individuals at millions of genetic locations or markers, and therefore require cost-effective genotyping technologies. A new statistical method, developed […].

FDA Makes Low-Risk Determination for Marketing of Products from Genome-Edited Beef Cattle After Safety Review

The Pharma Data

Decision Regarding Slick-Haired Cattle is Agency’s First Enforcement Discretion Decision for an Intentional Genomic Alteration in an Animal for Food Use. The IGA results in the equivalent genotype (genetic make-up) and short-hair coat trait seen in some conventionally bred cattle, known as a “slick” coat. Today, the U.S.

African cleft GWAS signal replication in an independent African cohort

Scienmag

Recent African genome-wide association studies (GWAS) for OFCs identified 170 near significant SNPs (p=10-5). 170 GWAS derived SNPs were genotyped on 3000 replication samples from participants in Ethiopia, Ghana, and […].

Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

However, the Resilience Project’s scientists had used genomic data originally collected for other studies and, due to limitations in the original studies’ informed consent policies and a lack of infrastructure to recontact participants, none of the 13 individuals could be contacted with follow-up questions or requests.
