Inferring human genomes at a fraction of the cost promises to boost biomedical research

Scienmag

To discover these associations, researchers need to compare the genomes of many individuals at millions of genetic locations or markers, and therefore require cost-effective genotyping technologies. A new statistical method, developed […].

Why early participant engagement is now a top priority in genetic disease research

pharmaphorum

However, the Resilience Project’s scientists had used genomic data originally collected for other studies and, due to limitations in the original studies’ informed consent policies and a lack of infrastructure to recontact participants, none of the 13 individuals could be contacted with follow-up questions or requests.

To Share or Not to Share Failed Genetic Screening Results with Patients

Worldwide Clinical Trials

As genome-wide association studies to identify genetic markers for common diseases increase, these questions will surface even more. The best course of action will depend on many variables, such as the disease or population being studied and the genotype/phenotype relationship, risk, and impact on care. Read the full article!

Can genetic data be a magic bullet for drug R&D?

pharmaphorum

Drug development has long been an issue for the pharma industry, due to the expense and the high failure rate of potential treatments. Ben Hargreaves finds that the vast amount of genetic data that exists today could help provide a faster, more targeted way of developing new drug candidates.

Genetics Tied to Thromboembolism Risk With Inflammatory Bowel Disease

The Pharma Data

18, 2020 — Genetic variants in some patients with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) are associated with a significantly increased risk for developing thromboembolic disease (TED), according to a study published online Oct. The researchers found that 122 of 792 IBD patients (15.4 WEDNESDAY, Nov. 21 in Gastroenterology.
