A Genome Wide Association Study on propensity to motion sickness published by 23andMe gives interesting results, shows validity for self-reported phenotypic information and underlines the value of the model developed by ...

Careful GWAS analysis of a group of mixed-ancestry Latino-American individuals reveals the role of a new “light” variant of the MSFD12 gene which appears to originate in some of the ...

A new genetic study focussing on the degree of violence in criminals and using both candidate gene and GWAS approaches finds statistically significant associations of extreme violent behaviour with low activity alleles of ...

Inactivation of the CCR5 gene by CRISPR editing in human embryos, as recently attempted in China, was touted as a positive change for the babies involved since it was expected to ...

Very large-scale GWAS analyses confirm the genetic complexity of schizophrenia and provide some new leads to understand the etiology of the condition.

GWAS analyses for skin colour performed on a series of diverse African groups reveal new loci involved in this phenotype and, surprisingly, the presence within several African populations of the “light” allele of the SLC24A5 ...

Recently, a systematic (but limited) search for rare variants implicated in adult height, a highly polygenic trait, has uncovered a number of new variants for which the effect size is inversely correlated with the minor ...
