متن کاملPRSice: Polygenic Risk Score software
SUMMARY A polygenic risk score (PRS) is a sum of trait-associated alleles across many genetic loci, typically weighted by effect sizes estimated from a genome-wide association study. The application of PRS has grown in recent years as their utility for detecting shared genetic aetiology among traits has become appreciated; PRS can also be used to establish the presence of a genetic signal in un...

The treatment of chemotherapy-resistant acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a major challenge in adult and pediatric oncology. Besides new therapies to inhibit pathways responsible for leukemia proliferation, immunotherapeutic strategies involving monoclonal antibodies directed against antigens expressed on the leukemic cells or cell therapy employing T lymphocytes or natural killer (NK) cell...
متن کاملPolygenic Selection, Polygenic Scores, Spatial Autocorrelation and Correlated Allele Frequencies. Can We Model Polygenic Selection on Intellectual Abilities?
The majority of polygenic selection signal of educational attainment GWAS hits is confined to a handful of SNPs within genomic regions replicated across GWAS publications. A polygenic score comprising 9 SNPs predicts population IQ (r=0.9), outperforming 99.9% of the polygenic scores obtained from sets of random SNPs. Its predictive power remains unaffected after controlling for spatial autocorr...

If we are to change the way these services are regulated, we first must know what the trade-offs are. Consumers need to know what they are giving up if they exchange the certainty of their regulated, monopoly provider for the harsh world of the competitive marketplace. Make no mistake, there is a vast difference in cultures between a monopoly, regulated utility run with the ratepayer uppermost ...
