Polygenic scores (PGS) are metrics used to estimate the genetic predisposition of people to developing specific mental health conditions, personality traits or diseases. In recent years ...

An international team of human geneticists found that common genetic variations in the genes encoding these DNA-repair proteins can hasten or delay onset of symptoms in Huntington's patients ...

In addition to opening a new window into how human genetic mutations can operate, the researchers hope that their insights lead to new strategies that improve or ultimately save the lives of people ...
