Blood biomarkers plus genomics shown to predict common disease risk more accurately than genomic information alone
Identifying people at high risk of chronic disease means that they can be targeted with prevention measures before they become sick. Polygenic risk scores, where genomic information alone is used to assess the risk of developing diseases, have been receiving a lot of attention recently, but research presented at the annual conference of the European Society of Human Genetics (Saturday 10 June) suggests that combining blood biomarkers with genomic information gives more accurate…
