Asthma Risk Heightened by Genetic Predisposition, Poor Sleep Patterns
Researchers found that favorable sleep patterns can dial down asthma risk in individuals at high polygenic risk, while poor sleep patterns boost prevalence of the condition.
Gastric Cancer Risk Variants, Pathogen Interactions Found in Retrospective Study
Sequencing on gastric cancer cases and controls helped flag nine susceptibility genes, including genes that interact with Helicobacter pylori infection to bump up risk.
Breast Cancer Study Leads to New Susceptibility Gene, Potential Treatment Strategies
Researchers found risk variants in the DNA damage checkpoint gene ATRIP in a Polish founder population and linked the gene to breast cancer risk and HRD in other populations.
