Genetic Architectures of Schizophrenia Compared in Different Populations
While the common genetic variants contributing to schizophrenia in East Asian individuals appear to broadly resemble those found in Europeans, polygenic risk scores (PRS) for the condition cannot necessarily be transferred from one population to the next. More...05 Dec 2019

Marker Panel Detects Early Liver Cancer with Increased Sensitivity
Several types of cancer can form in the liver. The most common type of liver cancer is hepatocellular carcinoma, which begins in the main type of liver cell (hepatocyte). Other types of liver cancer, such as intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma and hepatoblastoma, are much less common. More...05 Dec 2019
