HOUSTON, Texas, Oct. 16 -- The American Society of Human Genetics issued the following news release:
Researchers are exploring the cause and effect relationships between common health indicators and lifespan, by analyzing polygenic risk scores (PRS), a numerical score of a person's risk for disease based on multiple genetic variants. Saori Sakaue, MD, a PhD candidate at Osaka University, and her mentor Professor Yukinori Okada, recently showed that in addition to signaling inherited . . .
