Chroniques génomiques - Balayage du génome et repérage des personnes à risque : Des GWAS aux GPS

Abstract

The accumulation of extensive repositories linking phenotypic and genetic information, together with new computation methods, makes it possible to derive polygenic scores for susceptibility to common diseases that turn out to have strong predictive power. These will be clinically useful to identify individuals at high risk who may be eligible for protective interventions.
