DOI: 10.1158/1538-7445.am2025-7398
Abstract: Polygenic risk scores (PRS) could effectively identify individuals at higher risk of prostate cancer (PCa) and may have notable implications for screening. However, PRS risk classification depends on the comparison population. We investigated how different… read more here.

DOI: 10.1371/journal.pgen.1011727
Abstract: The effect of high percentage spliced in (hiPSI) TTN truncating variants (TTNtvs) on risk of dilated cardiomyopathy (DCM) has historically been studied among population subgroups defined by genetic similarity to European reference populations. This has… read more here.

DOI: 10.17221/113/2018-cjas
Abstract: Bísaro pig, a local endangered swine breed, has gained popularity in the recent years. A complete pedigree was used to evaluate the population structure and investigate the current breed’s genetic variability in two reference populations… read more here.
