There’s a new type of genetic testing known as polygenic embryo screening which promises to identify the risk of developing conditions like cancer, obesity and autism. But researchers are cautious.

Polygenic background bidirectionally modifies the penetrance of pathogenic variants in hypertrophic (HCM) and dilated (DCM) ...

Survey reveals nearly three-quarters of U.S. adults support using emerging technology to screen embryos during IVF for risk of developing certain health conditions or traits that arise from more than ...

Many statistical models and algorithms used by scientists can be imagined as a "black box." These models are powerful tools that give accurate predictions, but their internal workings are not easily ...

Cost-utility studies provide critical information for the costs and benefits of using any new test, typically building on existing public health and screening programmes, within a defined population.

The figure illustrates the major categories of genes that may influence susceptibility to dental caries, organized by their biological functions and pathways. These groups include: (1) Enamel ...
